JS Tools Shrinker And Stretcher Pro For Sale
The JS Tools Shrinker & Stretcher PRO is a 155mm deep throat metal forming machine that allows you to shrink and stretch sheet metal and aluminum into complex curves and shapes. Suitable for both amateurs and professionals.
Developed by JS-Tools, the Shrinker & Stretcher PRO is a 70 lbs (31.75 kg) unit designed to help you form sheet metal and aluminum efficiently. The 155mm working depth allows you to shrink the edges of your workpieces and significantly reduce the time spent at an English wheel when forming semi-large details such as wheelhouses and MC-fenders. With this machine, you can create an inner wheelhouse for a classic car in less than 30 minutes.
The unit operates via foot pedal, keeping both hands free to guide your workpiece for better control. The machine sits on a wheeled base, allowing you to move it around your workshop as needed. Jaws can be swapped between shrinking and stretching operations using the included wrench.
This machine suits professional fabricators, automotive restorers, custom vehicle builders, and serious metalworking enthusiasts who need to form compound curves in sheet metal and aluminum.
