Flow Forming Tool Set

Hammering metal over a forming block or turning an edge over can be time-consuming and can wear out your arm. Why not use a power tool instead? This little system is very handy and does not beat up the metal. You'll be very surprised to see how smoothly the metal shapes and how fast you can make parts with the right tool.

The gun is chosen for durability and also for control. It's not fun having a power tool take over the job and run off with it. The long barrel is easy to hang onto.

The Flow Forming tools are available in two lengths, short - so you hang onto the gun barrel, or long - so you can hang onto the tool and guide it with your hand. Your pick.

The inserts slip in and out, and are different hardnesses for different metals. Kent uses the white one for steel and the others for copper and aluminum. You can shape the inserts for nearly any task, using a sander or a saw. Kent does bead-forming, doming and dishing, and even makes off-sets with his tools.

Be creative. Be quick to make shapes. Save your arm. Get a tool system that is designed for success and durability.

		These bulkheads were formed using form blocks and 2024 T-0 .040.
		Here is the layout.
		Here is the process, step by step. Timesavings is huge, quality is nice.


		Flutes can be included easily, as the tool will allow nice details. You can stretch nicely...or shrink.
		And the surface finish? No marks to clean up.

"A while back I bought Kent's "flow forming tool". Basically hard plastic that can be set into a air hammer tool. These are neat! I've mentioned before my rotator cuffs are shot, so I have a harder time with a hammer these days. So I love this tool. Ya, I still need to buy/build a shrinker/stretcher tool to get something done."

"Kent, I ordered a white insert from you. It works perfectly (the orange one we had in it was too soft). We form window openings in our teardrop custom camper trailers in .040 5052 Al. By doing it by hand with a plastic faced mallet it took two hours, now it takes 1/2 hour! Plus, we were able to leave the plastic film we get on the material to protect the surface while we are hammering, leaving a better finish. I am atttaching a picture to show you a formed window opening. To see what one of these looks like done go check out our website www.tinycamper.com. Thank you very much."
