The most versatile piece of equipment available to the metal shaper is the Pullmax.  If you can have only one machine in your metal shaping shop it should be the Pullmax.  It can shrink, bead, flange, cut, louver...you are only limited by your innovative sprit.  There are several sizes and types of Pullmax and similar metal working machines.  Trumpf and Nolan also make metal working machines similar to the Pullmax.  My Pullmax is a P7 and is one of the larger machines.  It uses 22 millimeter shafts on the tools and can handle just about any gage metal you are going to need in metal shaping, up to 1/4".

The result is a high-end cutting table that could cut up to 1/2” plate, and can cut up to 150ipm!
