Hand Tools

Hand tools can be used to shape metals and other hard/dense materials, such as plastics.

Our Tools

  • Hack Saws

  • Tin Snips

  • Files

  • Punches

  • Pliers

  • Hammers

Metal Band Saw

Image Sources: Left

Material is fed into a continuous band saw blade to create straight or curved cuts.

Our Machines

  • Startrite 24-V-10, 1x

Guillotine

Image Sources: Left / Right

A sharp edge is lowered to slice straight cuts.

Our Machines

  • John Heine Model 36B Series 2, 1x

Cold Saw

Image Sources: Left / Right

A cooled circular saw blade is controlled to make straight cuts in lengths of clamped material.

Our Machines

  • Brobo S350D, 1x

Drill Press

Image Sources: Left / Right

A drill bit is loaded and fed at a controlled rotational speed into material mounted to the platform, allowing more precise holes to be made than are practicable using a handheld drill.

Our Machines

  • Parken B8-VAR-1F, 4x

  • Handheld Drills

Sheet Metal Benders

A heavyweight clamp holds sheet metal in place while the tool is pushed against it to make a straight bend.

Our Machines

  • Magnabend 1250E, 1x

  • Manual Metal Bender, 1x

Sheet Metal Roller

Pipe Bender

Our Machines

  • Pipe Bender, 1x

Linishing Belt

For shaping and deburring.

Our Machines

  • Parken MK644, 1x

Power Tools

Our Equipment

  • Angle Grinder - For cutting and grinding of metals and other hard materials.

  • Nibbler - For making freehand cuts in sheet metal.

MIG Welding

Metal Inert Gas welding can be applied to join thicker steel parts.

Our Machines

  • WIA 256 Weldmatic, 3x

TIG Welding

Tungsten Inert Gas welding can be applied to join thinner sheet steel or aluminium parts.

Our Machines

  • Kemppi MLS3000 ACDC, 1x

Spot Welding

Spot welding can be used to tack materials together or make non-watertight joins. The metals are welded in a spot rather than a continuous seam.

Our Machines

  • Orman 2-QS-17/A, 1x

  • Benchtop Spot Welders

Oxyacetylene Torch

Oxyacetylene gas burns to enable high heats to be applied to materials. It can be used for soldering or brazing.

Our Machines

  • Uni Flame TB-101-3/4, 1x
