The Murphy Builders Site

Hi all

Just got a landing light kit made by Trevor from Murphy and am in need of
tool to make a sheet metal bezel for it.
Can by a hand edge setter from US Tool Supply but seem to recal some
builders talking about a homemade version???

Hi Mike

The NW Rebel site had photos of making a edge flanger for putting a 1 or
2 degree bend on the edge of sheet aluminum if that is what you need.
Believe they use nylon rollers from a shower door or something. Try
photo 4, 5, and 6 at

Otherwise I prefer the Avery one that uses about a 3" disk of 1/2" thick
aluminum for a handle. It is much easier to control.

I can't imagine why you'd want the US Tool TP549 (hand edge setter) if
that is what you are looking at. Something like their TP326 is what I'm
talking about above.

I'm about 14 mi North of Milton if you need access to rollers. The
rollers will let you match the leading edge contour but it has to be
done before you cut the hole out and the aluminum needs to be about 3"
too long on top and on the bottom since the rollers don't do anything to
the first and last bit of metal that you feed. A wood or cardboard
cross-section template of the leading edge is very helpful.

Hi,
I made an edge setter out of a couple shower door rollers bolted to a piece
of aluminum plate. The rollers have a nylon edge that does not mare the
sheet - seems to be working ok for me.
