New: Modified jaws for the Lancaster !!!

1 1/4" throat and 3/16" gap

Lancaster is the industry standard since 1939. Often copied but never equaled. Will handle:

• 060 thick aluminum / .070 if soft.
• 18 gauge steel / 16 gauge soft
• 050 stainless / half hard or softer

Stretch metal for outside angles. Shrink metal for inside angles. Correct those wavy edges. Tighten up loose spots and turn up that panel.

Shrinker
Stretcher

Kent recommends either getting only the shrinker, or both machines together, as getting one frame and two diesets will drive you absolutely buggy in the middle of the one job you will always remember!!

We also offer the replacement cartridges (see photo) for these
machines.



Specify Shrinking Cartridge or Stretching Cartridge.
