was a lad who done body repairs and wanted it to make sills...takes 2 men to lift it. I had it to form bends in roofing felt for flashings and had it years. he paid me £280 for it so dont know how much it is now but i do know it wasa heavy machine.
I reckon it may have been sold on again - the current owner used it for his aircraft wing
But thanks - I've traced back the original Ad from here when you bought it, which gives me some extra clues to capability.
Gotta love this place

well cant blame a man for that...the clamping system was very handy by just dropping the lever and keeping the work from moving..if i needed i would still buy back at anything around £300 for it.

Looks like a capable folder to me, all heavy steel fabricated ,no poor castings to break like some Chinese stuff.

This appears to be the same type but on a different stand but not for as much so I think hes asking too much money for it , 19weeks ago though doubt he still has it
