  • Description

    The Rau 102 BG 500 Sheet Metal Bending Jaw is a manual sheet metal bending tool designed for quickly and accurately forming continuous bends directly at the jobsite. With a 500 mm (19.7") working width and adjustable bending depth, the BG 500 is ideal for fabricating seamless box gutters, valley gutters, high wall upstands, wall connections, edge trim and other architectural sheet metal components.

    Designed for single-person operation, the BG 500 securely clamps sheet metal for controlled bending without the working-length limitations of a stationary bending brake. Its portable design allows contractors to create long, continuous bends directly from sheet metal or coil stock, reducing the need for joints and seams.

    Key Features

    • Continuous-Length Bending: Forms bends along long sheets and coils without a fixed working-length limitation.
    • 500 mm Working Width: Provides a wide gripping surface for forming architectural sheet metal components.
    • Adjustable Bending Depth: Side-mounted stops allow consistent positioning for repeatable bends.
    • Secure Clamping Mechanism: Yellow operating handle closes the jaws to hold sheet metal securely during bending.
    • Jobsite Fabrication: Ideal for creating seamless gutters, valleys, ducts, wall flashings and custom metal profiles.
    • Manual Operation: No electrical power or stationary equipment required.
    • Durable Construction: Heavy-duty design with a baked epoxy finish for demanding sheet metal applications.
    • Seamless Metal Fabrication: Create box gutters, valley gutters, wall upstands and edge trim from continuous lengths of sheet metal, minimizing joints and potential leak points.

Rau 102 BG 500 Sheet Metal Bending Jaw - 19.75" Width

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the RAU BG 1000 and BG 500?

The primary difference is the working width and operation. The RAU 101 BG 1000 has a 39.4" (1000 mm) working width and is designed for two-person operation. The RAU 102 BG 500 has a 19.7" (500 mm) working width and can be operated by one person. Both tools allow contractors to form continuous sheet metal profiles directly at the jobsite.

Can RAU bending jaws bend sheet metal longer than the tool's working width?

Yes. RAU bending jaws can be repositioned along the sheet metal to create continuous bends over longer lengths. This makes them useful for forming long gutters, flashing, and architectural metal profiles without the length limitations of a stationary bending brake.

What types of sheet metal profiles can these tools form?

RAU bending jaws can be used to fabricate box gutters, valley gutters, wall upstands, wall connections, edge trim, internal channels, and other custom sheet metal profiles. They are particularly useful for applications requiring long, continuous bends.

What is the maximum bending depth?

Both the RAU BG 1000 and BG 500 have a maximum working depth of approximately 19.7" (500 mm). Adjustable stops help position the sheet metal for consistent, repeatable bends.

What is the difference between a RAU bending jaw and a traditional sheet metal brake?

A traditional sheet metal brake typically bends material across a fixed machine width. RAU bending jaws are portable clamping and bending tools that can be repositioned along the material, allowing contractors to form bends in longer sheets without transporting them to a stationary brake.

Can this tool be used on a jobsite?

Yes. This tool is manually operated and requires no electricity, making it ideal for on-site sheet metal fabrication. Contractors can form custom bends and profiles directly at the jobsite without relying on stationary equipment.
