Yes, you really can shrink metal (and rapidly) using the TM Air Power Hammers! The key is our special Shrinking Dies. These dies do a great job and are even able to shrink in the middle of a panel. You will need to learn the shrinking technique shown on our Air Hammer Operations DVD. (It takes a little skill, some practice, and a bit of patience to master the technique, but once you do you will be able to shrink far more quickly than anything you could ever do by hand.) Many shops tell us they’re favorite thing about our hammers is their shrinking capabilities. We offer two Shrinking Die sets, one for Soft Metals (aluminum and copper), and one for Hard Metals (steel and stainless). However, for shrinking metals that are “in between” hard and soft, you can “mix” the sets, with one die from each set. Experimentation is often the key to discovering new ways to use the dies and die combinations.
