This class focuses on tools that shear (cut), fold, bend and punch holes in sheet metal. Tools include hydraulic shear, turret punch, slitting shear, corner notcher, finger brake and spot welder. As you learn to use the tools, you will make a small sheet metal box.

To learn tools to form metal thicker than 16 gauge (0.06", 1/16" or 1.5mm) please see the description for the Basic Metal Shop class.
