How to Master Ductwork with the CR8-CF Cleat Former

Simple and Fast Drive Cleat Forming

The Ductformer Model CR8-CF helps you form a Drive Cleat Flange on the end of your duct. First, this machine uses a single pass-through process. Because of this, it works great for both L-shape and Full Wrapper ducts. In addition, this tool makes your work much faster. Since you only need one pass, you save a lot of time on every job.

Strong Parts for a Quiet Shop

Furthermore, the CR8-CF uses a strong all-gear drive. Specifically, it has a direct oil bath gear reduction and “lube for life” bearings. As a result, this is the quietest rollformer you can buy today. Because the parts stay oiled, the machine runs very smoothly. Also, you do not have to worry about greasing the bearings. Therefore, your shop stays quiet and your machine stays in top shape for a long time.

How the Tooling Works for You

Next, let’s look at how the tool forms the metal. The rollers form 180° drive cleat hems on the edge of your metal sheet. As the duct moves through the CR8-CF, the system finds the notch on its own. Then, it forms the cleat edges for your L-shape or wrap duct. Additionally, we give you a Small Parts Feed as a standard feature. To use it, you simply clamp the parts to the guide and feed them in. Consequently, even small fittings are very easy to make.
