It allows working with steel up to \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e and aluminum up to \u003cstrong\u003e1.8 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a \u003cstrong\u003ethroat depth of 150 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, which provides greater flexibility on medium-sized workpieces compared to more compact models. Thanks to its foot-operated control, the operator can work with both hands free to correctly position and guide the sheet metal, improving precision and safety. Supplied with \u003cstrong\u003etwo separate attachments\u003c\/strong\u003e (one for stretching and one for shrinking), it eliminates the need to change tools during processing. With a low weight (20 kg) and stable structure, it is the ideal choice for body shops, restorers, and craft workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCapacity: steel up to 1.5 mm and aluminum up to 1.8 mm\u003cbr\u003e150 mm throat depth for working on larger pieces\u003cbr\u003eFoot-operated system for hands-free operation\u003cbr\u003eTwo separate attachments: one for shrinking and one for stretching\u003cbr\u003eNo tool change necessary during work\u003cbr\u003eLightweight (20 kg) yet stable structure\u003cbr\u003eIdeal for bodywork, restoration, and craft workshops\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctable class=\"w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBernardo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSS 150 F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel capacity (400 N\/mm²)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThroat depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (L x D x H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e410 x 920 x 1195 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 20 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStandard equipment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 stretching attachment (Stretcher)\u003cbr\u003e1 shrinking attachment (Shrinker)\u003cbr\u003eFoot pedal\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLogistics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBernardo Shipping: 5–9 business days (7 days in the South).

The \u003cstrong\u003estretcher\u003c\/strong\u003e elongates the fiber by expanding it, creating a convex curve. Alternating between the two functions allows for complex shapes to be achieved on thin sheet metal without wrinkles or tears.

Check the specific limits in the technical table of the Bernardo Foot-operated Shrinker and Stretcher. Exceeding the limits causes damage to the tools and irregular deformation of the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between lever, foot-operated, and motorized versions?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003elever\u003c\/strong\u003e (Pro) version is manual: the operator activates the lever with both hands, ideal for occasional work. The \u003cstrong\u003efoot-operated\u003c\/strong\u003e (FD\/F) version operates the machine with the foot, freeing both hands to hold and guide the workpiece — more comfortable for repetitive tasks. The \u003cstrong\u003emotorized\u003c\/strong\u003e or electric version automates the complete cycle for series production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo the jaws wear out?
