Baileigh MSS-14F Foot Operated Shrinker Stretcher
Description N/A One must have in any fabrication shop is a shrinker/stretcher. The MSS-18 is Baileigh Industrial's entry level shrinker/stretcher, but we take the base unit and add some kick to it, literally. Instead of having to buy an optional stand like most other sellers; we include it in the price. And what's better, we made it a kick stand. That's right; with the MSS-18 both hands will be free to handle the material.

Another feature of Baileigh Industrial's MSS-18 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. 		N/A Most shrinker stretchers only have a small throat depth, so what do you do when you need more? Enter the Baileigh Industrial MSS-16 shrinker stretcher; it has a heavy cast iron frame with a deep 8" throat.

The MSS-16 comes standard with two sets of jaws, one for shrinking and one for stretching. This bench mounted shrinker stretcher is a manually operated machine that uses a hand operated lever to control the amount of shrink or stretch.

The MSS-16 sheet metal shrinker stretcher has a mild steel capacity of 16 gauge and an aluminum capacity of 14 gauge. No other sheet metal stretcher shrinker on the market has such a generous throat depth with a heavy maximum capacity for such a good price. An optional stand that integrates a foot pedal control for operation is available. 		N/A Most shrinker stretchers only have a small throat depth, so what do you do when you need more?
