as above and getting the fold to work is the hard bit but Machine mart do one and they are fair for the price,I have bent 3mm steel sheet with it.

I picked up a 4` treadle guillotene and 4` folder on fleabay a few years ago for £250 the pair. Kin heavy, not used much but have over the years proved really useful. I would not be without them, Its the sort of kit that you dont regret buying.
