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

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