Anyone use a northern industrial 3in1 brake,shear,roll

Well I have to say I am EXTREMELY HAPPY with my new 3 in 1!!!
easy to use, does everything it said it would with ease.

this is a good tool to own!!
I am all for multi use machines

 

any one try the one from woodward fab?

 

I have one of these machines. Got it at an estate sale with a HF bead roller for $75.
I use it mostly for copper, and small pieces of aluminum or steel. They have their place, but if you can afford the better stuff, you'll be much better off. I let my friends use it, it's like the box of loaner tools. Some wants to borrow a tool, show them the box..... It's hard to get hurt, or screw up to badly with the 3 in 1, but watch garage sales, or craigslist. I found a Tennsmith 52" shear, and 48" pan and box brake at a garage sale that I almost drove bye without stopping. The wife said why didn't you stop!! I had no reason why not, so I turned around and went back. Nothing but junk outside, but inside was the Tennsmith. They wanted $800 for the pair, I offered $600. They said show me the money, I did, then went home to get my truck. When I got back, there were 3 others waiting, wanting to know if I would sell for a quick profit. Nope! Their in my shop, along with press brake and a power shear, but I still use the little one, for small stuff.

I have one of those woodwards and the first thing I had to do was cut it up as it wouldn't do a radius bend, thats when I found out those smooth welds are bondo covering bad chinese welds, its good now for folding envelopes and other soft things, got it at an NSRA event, I use it very little.

 

My machine make forming 16 ga a breeze.
anything body related should be no problem

 

I would like to clearify that this is a 16 gauge machine. Not a 20 gauge like most on the market. It weighs 1,200 pounds. Very beefy!

Thanks for posting Josh!

 

Hey baileigh inc what does that one cost?

 

The part number is SBR-5216 and the price is $1,695

 

Does anyone know as to where I can get a SBR-5216 (3 in 1) ? I also want a SN-F16-HN (Notcher) BUT trying to find someone that hs the SBR-5216 in stock is almost imposible.
Thanks

I will have some in stock in a month or so. Call me if you like

 

Please don't buy that junk,,,this didn't last more than a few hours.HRP

 

Yikes! Whos machine is that? What is its capacity?

 

Don't you mean what was it's capacity?

 

Yes

 

Probably better for working aluminum--you can go up to about .041 thick.
With steel, shearing 18 ga. can break it in half.

 

Ours will do 16 gauge mild steel all day long. Have plenty of happy customers using it. It is a monster! It weights 1,200 pounds!

 

Harbor Friggin' Freight,,and to add insult to injury I was bending 20 gauge,,it's not like I was bending something heavy.

I learned my lesson,,no more cheap crap for me. HRP
