Special Sheet Metal Machines

Single-purpose machines that don’t fit the other machine groups. The main one is a free-standing wood grain embossing machine for sheet and coil.

Wood grain embossing machine

An embossing machine rolls a raised pattern into flat metal as it passes between two patterned rolls. A wood grain pattern adds texture to siding, soffit, trim and garage door panels. It also hides small dents and oil canning better than a smooth finish. The free-standing machine works as its own station in the shop. Embossed coil may also feed some roll formers, so check with the machine maker before you plan on it.

The group also lists a car tire sidewall cutter. Check each product page for specs and capacities.

Buying advice

• Ask for the rated thickness range for each metal, not only for steel.
• Check how the machine feeds. Some take sheet, others take coil and need a decoiler.
• Ask what tooling is included and what costs extra.
• Ask about spare rolls or dies and how long they take to get.
• Plan delivery and placement before the machine arrives.
