Equipment Needed



Each of the three pieces of equipment shown above can individually be the central foundation for a number of very specific businesses. The #1-ORB can do a lot by itself when it comes to various ornamental businesses. Acquiring one of them is a good choice to get started with. If your main interest is bending tubing, solid flats, squares & rounds for undertaking general fabrication you may want to consider getting a UF-25H Universal Fabricator. Many customers, especially schools, acquire all three machines. If you are considering getting into the Sign Business the #1-ORB and UF-25H work well together. The UF-25H Universal Fabricator can form block letters and sign frames that look better with radiused corners. The Ornamental Roller Bender can produce the scroll work and other ornamental components needed. The 2011 Handy Bend (which comes standard with every #UF-25H) can be bought separately for your own 25 ton or greater press with which to form block letters. The Fabricator manual has all the dimensions and general directions for forming both twelve-inch-high block letters and numbers. The #BMSB Bench Mount Scroll Bender and #1415 Bench Mount Ring Roller seen below, although bought by established businesses and those wishing to start one, fall more into hobby category.
Shop Outfitters (founded in 1985) provides specialized metalworking machines which are the foundation of an almost unlimited number of specific project business opportunities. Our Show & Tell project idea books contain hundreds of photos in them that were built with our equipment. They are not only a good source for project ideas, but they also act as a sales helper for anyone making things to sell using our equipment.
