With a capacity of up to \u003cstrong\u003e1.2 mm on steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 mm on aluminum\u003c\/strong\u003e, it offers reliable and precise performance. The \u003cstrong\u003e200 mm throat depth\u003c\/strong\u003e allows for processing medium to large-sized pieces, expanding the range of applications compared to compact models. The foot operation leaves hands free, increasing comfort, safety, and operational precision. Supplied with two separate attachments (one for shrinking and one for stretching), it eliminates the need to change tools during work. Weighing 37 kg and with stable dimensions (300 x 920 x 1225 mm), it is a robust and functional solution for professional workshops and laboratories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCapacity: up to 1.2 mm steel and up to 1.5 mm aluminum\u003cbr\u003e200 mm throat depth for working on larger pieces\u003cbr\u003eFoot pedal system for hands-free operation\u003cbr\u003eTwo separate attachments: shrinking and stretching\u003cbr\u003eNo tool change required during work\u003cbr\u003eStable structure and 37 kg weight\u003cbr\u003eIdeal for autobody work, restoration, and artisanal 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 210 F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel capacity (400 N\/mm²)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThroat depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 x 920 x 1225 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 37 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 Shrinker attachment (compression)\u003cbr\u003e1 Stretcher attachment (expansion)\u003cbr\u003eFoot pedal\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLogistics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBernardo shipping: 5–9 business days (7 days in the South).

A \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 formed on thin sheet metal without wrinkles or tears.

Check the specific limits in the technical table for the Bernardo Foot-Operated Shrinker and Stretcher. Exceeding the limits will cause 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 version (Pro) is manual: the operator operates the lever with both hands, ideal for occasional work. The \u003cstrong\u003efoot-operated\u003c\/strong\u003e version (FD\/F) operates the machine with the foot, freeing both hands to hold and guide the workpiece — more comfortable for repetitive work.
