• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I seem to have lost my sheet metal edging tool used to put the slight bevel on overlapping sheet metal seams. It was a small pair of pliers with a bearing welded to each jaw at an angle with an edge guide on each bearing. Rolling this on the edge of sheetmetal several times squeezing the handles harder at each pass put a very nice 3-4 degree bevel on the edge.
I have been searching the web for the last 2 hrs. trying to find another one or something similar and all I find are bench mounted, crank machines.
If anyone has any idea what I am talking about - considering my poor description - can you steer me in the correct direction ?
The one I had was purchased from a dealer specalizing in sheet metal hand tools at Oshkosh many years ago.
Thank you :)
