sheet metal shrinker

Hi All,
I'm looking for information so I can build myself an edge shrinker. Anybody got any information on how they work, photos etc.
Cheers,
Ross

try contacting 907 (paul?) on here, he's a bit of a dab hand at this sort of thing.

The serrated jaws sit in a shallow vee. (Black lines)

When the jaws come together in the vertical they nip the sheet and then squash the metal horizontally.
Note how the gaps close.

Metalmeet.com is a good source of info.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the info, I found the Frost web site, I'll order one from there and have it brought to SA.
Cheers,
Ross
