DVD Series Introduction The Introduction DVD introduces the viewer to the video/library that is now available for them review. This video introduces the the series host and industry expert Steve Benson who explains the necessity of reviewing each DVD in order to get the most from the overall series. NTSC 32, Run time 8:53  |

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. Learn about process control and charting. A must view if quality is your goal! 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 use the different types of scales including vernier scales. Blueprints are used to first develop the dimension values and then apply them to actually measure the parts. A must for beginners! NTSC 45, Run time 28:20
|
  |
The Squaring Shear DVD This DVD covers the fundamentals of the squaring shear, the parts, pieces and 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. NTSC 45, Run time 27:37

  |
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 then 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. When you understand what is happening with your tool selection decisions and flat pattern developments will be correct the first time. NTSC 32, Run time 30:27

The Press Brake & 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! NTSC 32, 39:00 |
  |
Press Brake Punches DVD In this DVD we investigate the the different types of press brake punches (the upper tool) that are used in the press. Learn how to properly calculate the maximum safe tonnages and learn the load limit of the press brake based on material type and method of forming. By learning the properties of these tools and their limits, 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 (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 or not 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 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 ease. Also covered: 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 Learn the secrets and dangers of bottom bending. Different then coining, bottoming has been a staple of the precision sheet metal trade. While no longer recommended by press brake manufacturers it is still widely used. Done properly and with experience, bottom bending is a valid way to form parts. At the same time one mistake can severely damage the press brake. An important video for the operator understand even if air-forming is the only operation being preformed. NTSC 32, 22:21 runtime |
 |
Press Brake Safety Much more than the usual press brake video. Learn about pinch points, proper set-ups, matching tool angles, safe mechanical press brake recommendations, tonnage. 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 |
