Heavy Cast Iron Deep Throat Shrinker/Stretcher

Understanding the Heavy Cast Iron Deep Throat Shrinker Stretcher: A Versatile Metalworking Tool

A heavy cast iron deep throat shrinker stretcher is a metalworking tool used to shape metal sheets by either shrinking or stretching them. The "deep throat" feature refers to the ability of the tool to work on metal sheets that are further away from the edge, allowing for greater versatility in shaping. The shrinking function of the tool works by clamping the metal sheet between the two jaws of the tool and applying pressure to gradually reduce the width of the sheet, resulting in a curved shape. This technique is commonly used to create curved panels or channels.

At Woodward, we offer a high-quality heavy cast iron deep throat shrinker stretcher. The stretching function of the tool works by clamping the metal sheet between the two jaws of the tool and pulling them apart, gradually increasing the width of the sheet, resulting in a flattened shape. This technique is commonly used to create straight panels or to expand metal sheets to fit into a larger area. The Cast Iron Deep Throat Shrinker construction of the tool allows for greater stability and durability, making it suitable for use in industrial settings where large volumes of metal shaping work are performed.
