Default 3 in 1 Press, Guillotine, Rollers

Hi all,

I am thinking of buying this machine. Just wondering if anyone here has had any experience using this machine? If yes I would appreciate your opinion of it, its pros and cons etc, before I go ahead and purchase it.

Thanks in advance,

Dawnbringer

Depends on your finances and room to store.
One of each, good quality, is best.
I have a smaller "Warco" which has its limitations but, without doubt, is a whole lot better than nothing.
Yours looks better quality and larger, so dependent on cost, looks good.
I use the guillotine and rolls regularly but use a folder more than the press brake section - a bit fussy.
For some reason they always seem, relatively, cheap. They do all the jobs fairly well, but not as well as dedicated equipment.

Thanks Richard for your feedback. Room is not a big problem ATM, but finances are, lol. If this thing can do the job for a while until I save up to buy 3 dedicated machines as you say, then I'm happy. Was wondering if they actually work, lol. As they seem very cheap to me. Maybe I've become cynical in my old age, lol.

Cheers,
Dawnbringer

..I do not want to upset the Mods and ask what brand that yours is, and how much it costs, but would like to know. ...

That will not upset us. AllMetalShaping has no problem with posting names and prices.
