3 main families of aluminum bending machines
Van Mark folding machines come in 3 main families. In each of them, we find models ranging from 4 feet 6 inches to 14 feet 6 inches. The most common are the 10 feet 6 inches and the 12 feet 6 inches.
Contractor models
Including the very popular VanTM10, this category is perfect for contractors who use their tool periodically and who do not have to work on aluminum above 0.27 inches.
The weight is very reasonable, about 150 lbs for 10 feet 6 inches.
This model of bending machine is suitable for most jobs on residential sites (doors, windows, fascia, siding, etc.).

Accessories for Van Mark aluminum bending machines
There are a multitude of accessories to help you with your bending jobs. Adding Van Mark accessories allows you to customize your bending machine to your needs and be more efficient.
Support
First, the supports for your equipment. The experts at Outils Pierre Berger mainly recommend the VanCD24. It is designed for the aluminum roll and it is also possible to cut your lengths on this same support by using the TrimCutter (Van3017). Be aware that there are others on the market.
To offer stability to your bending machine, the UNL1 model is robust and the unileg legs are easy to install. There is also the USA1 complete stand on wheel that is adjustable to 6 heights for better control.
TrimCutter Knife
The TrimCutter (Van3017) is the essential accessory of Van Mark. It ensures a cleaner and faster job. The knife works with all VanMark products regardless of the type of material you are forming.
In addition, it keeps your vinyl and stainless steel strips in better condition and saves you premature maintenance costs.
Please note: It requires a little adjustment since the cut is not exactly to the stainless steel strip. That being said, after a few uses, you can't live without it!
Forming and measuring products
In order to achieve a beautiful finish or ornamentation to metals, the Trimformer offers different dies to give a neater result to your work. The corner template allows you to make common folds more precisely and without hassle.
Finally, you can take advantage of the Just-Bend system. It offers the possibility to save time and money by allowing you to position your sheets much faster than with the traditional tape measure.
