Review on Shop Fox M1052 3-In-1 Sheet Metal Machine, 12-Inch by Timothy Johnson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does what I expected

This sheet metal machine is made in china and has all of the machined and cast parts finishing that I would expect from something you'd get from Harbor Freight and as a result, I found myself finishing a few rough edges and fussing with the fitting of parts. However the core of the machine is solid and functions well. It does what it's designed to do so for the price I can't complain much. The shear was the most troublesome to adjust but once I got the hang of snapping the crank the trims are clean. I'm fussy I know but I think my tool should reflect the quality that that I strive to achieve in the products I use them to make. The rollers are tough and can stand up to a lot of stress. Adjusting the rollers and the depth stop is clumsy as the adjustment bolts feel sloppy.

Pros
  • ‎1-Year Warranty
Cons
  • Limited speed options
