1) Sheet cutting shearing machine-
Main parts - Ram, Knife, Bed, Motor, Belt, Pulley and Stand.
Capacity – Minimum 1/8 inch thick and 4 inch wide sheet can be cut by this machine.
Operation – It is used for cutting sheet
2) Hydraulic press-
Main parts - Gear, Punch, Spindle and Table.
Operation - It is used for bending any sheet. It can be also used for making the surface
of a sheet flat.
3) Bending Machine-
Operation - It can be used for fitting and bending any sheet.
Limitation - As there is no scale for adjusting the angle, so in the case of bending any
sheet at a definite angle this machine cannot be used.
Capacity- The sheet can be bent at maximum 90°.

4) Hydraulic press-
The difference between hydraulic press and hydraulic hand press is that hydraulic
hand press is operated by hand.

5) Column drill machine-
Main parts - Table and Gear box.
Advantages -
•Table can be adjusted
•Gear box is also adjustable
•Speed can be controlled.

6) Power press-
Main parts – Die and Punch
Capacity – Maximum 12.5 mm thick sheet can be bent by this machine.

7) Radial drill machine –

Advantages -
1) It is especially suitable for very large and heavy job.
2) It can be operated automatically and manually.
3) Its speed can be controlled.
Capacity - Its maximum rpm is 1400 and minimum rpm is 50.

8) Combined shearing machine –

It is used to punch job.

9) Pipe bending machine-

It is used to bend pipe.
Capacity- Maximum 4 inch pipe can be bent.

10) Roller machine -

Capacity - A sheet of maximum 1 inch thick and 5 inch long can be rolled by this
machine.
