The Baileigh MSS-18 manually-operated metal-forming shrinker stretcher is an entry-level machine. But, we take the base unit, and add some kick to it (literally) with a foot pedal control. Another feature of the MSS-18 is one complete shrinker and one complete stretcher both in their own cast iron housings. No need to switch out jaws if you need to switch functions. Also, the machine's 1.5"" throat depth lets you work on the edges of panels. Baileigh covers this manual shrinker stretcher with a one-year parts warranty and lifetime technical support by phone. Note: Square corner jaws on this model can leave small indents that require additional smoothing. For a shrinker stretcher without square corner jaws, check out the Baileigh MSS-16F.
