Shears, brakes & spot welders · review
A meter-wide folder with a shear on the same frame — bending and cutting in one machine.
Where we come out The one machine here that makes a finished part rather than a prepared piece.
Every fold relaxes a little when the beam is released. Over-bending and letting it come back is how a square corner is actually made, and it needs a machine that goes past square. That is the practical meaning of the 135° figure.
Sheet thickness capacity, which on a folder depends on the width being bent as well as the material. Ask before ordering if you have a specific gauge in mind; the listing gives width and angle only.
Every figure above comes from the manufacturer’s published specification for this reference. Fields the listing does not publish are left out rather than estimated. Market availability was verified per market on the EAN.

Because a fold springs back. Sheet metal is elastic before it is plastic: bend it to exactly 90° and it relaxes to 88° or so when released. Over-bending past the target and letting it spring back to square is the standard technique, and a machine limited to 90° cannot do it. One hundred and thirty-five degrees also allows closed hems and safety edges.
Not necessarily, but having both on one frame means the sheet is cut and folded without being carried between machines and re-squared. For box work — where every piece is cut, then folded twice — that saves as much time as either operation.

500 mm (19.7 in) blade · bench-fixed · 1.5 mm (0.06 in) test cut · €189
Half a meter of blade — the first machine here that cuts a panel edge in one stroke.
Best for: Panel work: cutting sheet to size cleanly, in one pull
20 coupons · 2 × 4 in · 11 GA / 3.05 mm (0.12 in) mild steel
Twenty pieces of 3 mm (0.12 in) mild steel cut to the same size — the cheapest way to learn a weld without ruining the thing you meant to make.
Best for: Learning a process, setting a machine, or proving a parameter before it touches real work
≈ $30
A36 cold rolled · 16 GA / 1.52 mm (0.06 in) · 36 × 24 in · made in USA
A named steel grade at a published thickness, in a sheet big enough to cut a bracket from — and the only item in this hub that states what the metal actually is.
Best for: Brackets, repair plates and shop fixtures, where the grade and the gauge both have to be known
