  • Description

    The Malco FS1N75 1-Station Narrow Panel Bender is a lightweight modular bending tool designed for tight detail work and curved panel applications. With a maximum bend depth of 75mm (2-15/16″), this narrow bearing stance model tracks easily along curved panels while still delivering clean, controlled straight bends when needed.

    Form 0°–100° bends directly on the jobsite without waiting on shop brakes or rollformers. The FS1N75 is ideal for flashing details, standing seam roofing, exposed fastener trim, and architectural sheet metal adjustments where smaller bend depths are required.

    Adjustable roller spacing allows the tool to accommodate multiple material thicknesses, and the exclusive angled roller helps prevent scratching during 90° bends. Built from premium CNC aluminum and stainless-steel components, this modular bender delivers durability, corrosion resistance, and precise bend performance in demanding field conditions.

    For expanded capability, pair with the FSC1 Bender Connector to create a modular two-station configuration.

    Available Models

    Bender Configuration Options

    • Standard – Bender Only
      Includes the single-station bender ready for field bending applications.
    • Pro – Bender + Handle + 2mm Radius Roller
      Adds two performance upgrades:
      • FSH2 Handle: Provides additional leverage and a more comfortable second-hand grip, especially helpful when forming heavier-gauge materials or making repeated bends.
      • FSLR 2mm Large Radius Roller: Replaces the standard 0.7mm roller to create a softer bend radius, ideal for copper, zinc, aluminum, or sensitive painted finishes.
    • Modular – Bender + Handle + 2mm Radius + Connector
      Includes everything in the Pro setup, plus:
      • FSC1 Bender Connector: Allows two single-station benders (narrow or wide) to be joined together to create a modular two-station configuration for improved tracking and control on longer, straighter bends.

Malco FS1N75 1-Station Narrow Panel Bender – 75mm (2-15/16″ Max Depth)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between narrow and wide models?

  • Narrow bearing stance models follow curved panels more easily and are ideal for radius work.
  • Wide bearing stance models provide greater stability and control for straighter bends.

Both types can be connected together using the Bender Connector (FSC1) to create a modular 2-station configuration.

Will the bender scratch painted metal panels?

No — the exclusive angled roller is designed specifically to prevent scratching during 90° bends.

For additional protection or for softer metals like copper and zinc, the optional 2mm Large Radius Accessory (FSLR) provides a smoother, softer bend profile.

What degree of bend can the tool create?

The Malco Modular Benders can form bends from 0° up to approximately 100°, depending on material type and thickness.

For best results on heavier gauges or harder materials, make multiple light passes rather than forcing a full bend in one pass.

Can I connect two benders together?

Yes. All single-station models can be paired using the Malco Bender Connector (FSC1). Just purchase the Modular bundle above.

This allows you to create a modular two-station setup for longer, straighter, or more controlled bends.

What is the purpose of the 2mm Large Radius Accessory?

The optional 2mm Large Radius Roller (FSLR) replaces the standard 0.7mm roller and creates a softer bend radius.

This is particularly useful when forming copper, zinc, aluminum, or sensitive painted materials where a tighter radius could stress the finish.

Do I need to adjust the rollers for different materials?

Yes. Roller spacing is adjustable from 0.5 mm to 1 mm to accommodate different material thicknesses.

Proper adjustment ensures smooth operation, accurate bends, and prevents unnecessary tool wear.

Are these tools field-ready?

Yes. These benders are designed for on-site use and eliminate the need to wait on shop rollformers for many custom flashing and roofing details.

They are lightweight, modular, and built from premium CNC aluminum and stainless-steel components for durability and precision.

What roofing applications are these best suited for?

These benders are commonly used for:

  • Standing seam roofing details
  • Exposed fastener trim work
  • Custom flashing fabrication
  • Fascia and rake edges
  • Valley metal adjustments
  • Field modifications and retrofit work

Can these metal benders be used for anything other than roofing?

Yes. While these tools are designed for metal roofing applications, they are also used in a variety of other trades that require precise on-site sheet metal bending.

Common non-roofing applications include:

  • Architectural sheet metal fabrication
  • Custom flashing and trim work
  • HVAC duct transitions and edge forming
  • Wall panel systems and cladding details
  • Fascia, coping, and parapet metal
  • Sign fabrication and light architectural metal
  • Retrofit and repair work on existing sheet metal installations

Any application that requires controlled 0–100° bends in steel, aluminum, copper, or zinc can benefit from these benders.

Because they are lightweight and modular, they are especially useful for field fabrication where access to a brake or rollformer is limited.
