When it comes to commercial projects, where you need to cut or fold an aluminium sheet with a thickness of 1.6mm or more, shears and hand presses aren\u2019t going to be strong enough.<\/p>\n<p>A metal guillotine is the best option for cutting aluminium sheets with a thickness of more than 1.2mm, its hydraulic mechanism gives it the right amount of force to cut through thicker and larger quantities of aluminium sheet.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key advantages of using a metal guillotine is the fact that it\u2019s fast, cost-effective and ideal for high volume production. Darley\u2019s Victorian branch has Brake Press and Guillotine machines onsite that can fold and cut aluminium sheets up to 3.6m in length.<\/p>\n<p>The Brake Press machine can fold an aluminium sheet into different types of folds including: <em>a top hat, angles and z shape flashings.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Guillotine Machine<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\"><strong>Type of Sheet<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"227\">Flat aluminium sheet cut to size<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\"><strong>Lengths<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"227\">Up to 3.6m sheets<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\"><strong>Sheet Thickness<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"227\">1.2mm to 6mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong><u>Brake Press Machine<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\"><strong>Lengths<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"227\">Up to 3.6m sheets<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\"><strong>Sheet Thickness<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"227\">1.2mm to 3mm*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\">Types of Folds<\/td>\n<td width=\"227\">-Top Hat<br \/>\n-Angles<br \/>\n-Z Shape Flashings<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>To find out more contact the Darley Victorian branch on (03) 9238 \u2013 3888 or <a href=\"mailto:salesvic@darleyaluminium.com.au\">salesvic@darleyaluminium.com.au<\/a> or speak to your Account Manager.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Subject to project type \u2013 please speak to your Account Manager or the Darley Victorian branch to find out more.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know how versatile aluminium is \u2013 it comes in all types of shapes and sizes and is used in all types of things including soft drink cans, windows and doors, car engines and a plain aluminium sheet.<\/p>\n<p>Aluminium sheets are perfect for DIY projects or small home renovations.
