Baileigh manually operated metal forming shrinker stretcher. It is entry level shrinker/stretcher, but we take the base unit and add some kick to it, literally. Another feature of Baileigh s sheet metal shrinker/stretcher is that ours has one complete shrinker and one complete stretcher both in their own cast iron housings. No need to switch out jaws if you need switch functions. The heavy casting assures a quality function at full capacity, which is 18-gauge in mild steel and 16-gauge in aluminum. The metal shrinker/stretcher units are constructed of cast iron to last the fabricator for years of production. Throat depth: 1-1/2-inches; Stand included; power: manual.
