DVD Series Introduction The Introduction DVD introduces the viewer to the video/library that is now available. This video introduces the series hosted by industry expert Steve Benson NTSC 32, Run time 8:53  |
  |
Flat Pattern Development DVD This DVD takes the viewer through basics of flat pattern development: bend deductions, mold lines and notching (square corners to side flanges at angle other than 90-degrees. You will learn the application of mold lines and their relationships to features. Find out what happens if you've designed for an air form and use a bottom bend instead. Learn the reasons why bend deduction charts may not work. A great way to learn the basics and to understand what you CAD is doing for you in the background. NTSC 45, Run time 33:57

Calculator Mathematics DVD This DVD takes the viewer through basic calculator Mathematics. A must view for those who are just now entering the precision sheet metal trade or, for those that could use a quick refresher course. Along with the included booklet, the student will be able to work simple formulas and perform right angle trigonometry. A great way to learn the basics! NTSC 45, Run time 31:51

Blueprint Interpretation DVD In this DVD the viewer is taught everything a beginning sheet metal technician needs to know about Blueprints: Where the information is located, first and third angle projections, cumulative verses baseline tolerancing. You will learn the basics of Geometric Tolerancing and how to apply "True Position" callouts on the shop floor. You will learn about process control and charting. A must view if quality is your goal! See sample click here! NTSC 45, Run time 38:37

Precision Hand Measurement Tools DVD This DVD covers the fundamentals of precision hand measurement tools including: Micrometers, Squares and Blades, Calipers, Protractors and Height-Gauges. You will learn to read the different types of scales including vernier scales. Blueprints are used to first develop the dimensional values and then to actually measure parts. A must for beginners!

The Squaring Shear DVD This DVD covers the fundamentals of the squaring shear, the parts, the pieces and their functions. You will learn how to properly "square a blank" and shear strips; the gauging of odd angles and the use of half-shears. Shear safety is also covered in some detail. See sample click here!

Inspection and Quality Control DVD This DVD covers the basics of "on the floor" Quality Control. Inspection techniques for the operator and quality control floor staff. Learn to read and apply Geo-Metric Tolerancing and blueprint interpretation for quality control. The reasons behind SPC and PCP call-outs and how that data can be used for more than just statics; trends for example NTSC 45, Run time 35:23
|
  |
Bend Functions DVD This DVD covers the fundamentals of bend deduction development, K-factors, how bend deductions are calculated. Even if you never apply these calculations on the shop floor the need to understand what happens at the point of bend cannot be understated. Once you understand what is happening with bend your tool selection decisions and flat pattern developments will be correct the first time. NTSC 32, Run time 30:27

The Press Brake and Methods DVD The different types of press brakes and the different methods of forming are discussed. Discover where the name came from, how the machine has evolved; why did we move from mechanical press brakes to hydro-mechanical to electric Learn the differences between Air-forming, Bottom bending and Coining. Knowledge no operator should be without! See sample click here! NTSC 32, 39:00 |
  |
Press Brake Punches DVD In this DVD we investigate the different types of press brake punches (the upper tool) that are used in the press brake. Learn how to properly calculate the maximum safe tonnages and learn about the "load limit" of the press brake based. By learning the properties of these tools and their limits, possible damage to the press brake, the tooling and the operator are greatly reduced. NTSC 32, 30:19 runtime |
  |
Press Brake Dies DVD Press Brake dies delves in to the mysteries of die selection (the lower tool), the different types of dies and their purposes are discussed. Learn how to match openings geometrically to achieve the desired inside radius whether you are Air-forming or bottom bending. With just one viewing you will save hours of aggravation and tons of scrap. NTSC 32, 38:00 runtime

Press Brakes - Other tools and methods DVD On this video we look into the various operations other than straight forward bending. The DVD contains tips on selecting forming sequence for optimum forming along with training in: Pin gauging Bump radius Off-set bending Urethane forming Deep box forming Some old standards and new options, a must for getting the most from your press brake. NTSC 32, 27:03 runtime |
  |
Press Brakes - Bottom Bending DVD Learn the secrets and dangers of bottom bending. Different then coining, bottoming has been a staple of the precision sheet metal trade for many decades. While no longer recommended by press brake manufacturers it is still widely used in the industry. Done properly and with experience, bottom bending is a valid way to form parts. At the same time just one mistake can severely damage the press brake. An important video for operator understanding even if air-forming is the only operation being performed in your facility. NTSC 32, 22:21 runtime |
 |
Press Brake Safety DVD Much more than the usual press brake safety video. Learn about pinch points, proper set-ups, matching tool angles, safe mechanical press brake recommendations, tonnage and more! Watch a bone being formed! See the bone after forming! Check out the marrow in the die! A must before you let anyone near the press brake! NTSC 32, 31:22 |

Laser Programming and Safety DVD On this DVD we look at the basics of laser programming along with many tips and tricks for improving your laser operations. While geared at the beginning operator this DVD offers experienced operators some valuable insights as well. We also discuss Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) as they refer to the chemicals used and the toxic gasses that may be released when some materials are cut. NTSC 45, Run time 21:31
