Helping Your Project Take Form
Press-brake forming up to 250 tons on a 12-ft bed, plus iron-worker notching, punching and shearing.
Most metals are ductile — they'll bend before they break — but it takes the right equipment to form them well. Our open-frame single-action press bends sheet and plate up to 250 tons across a 12-foot bed: versatile, efficient and cost-effective.
We also run an iron worker for notching, punching, cutting and nibbling a range of materials.
- Press brake — up to 250 tons
- 12-foot bed length
- Sheet & plate forming
- Iron worker: notch, punch, cut, nibble
Common Questions.
Where can I get sheet metal or plate forming done in central Alberta? +
Comet Welding in Lacombe runs a press brake with up to 250 tons of capacity on a 12-foot bed, handling sheet and plate forming for a wide range of thicknesses and bend requirements across central Alberta.
What's the largest piece you can press brake form? +
Our press brake handles material up to 12 feet long with up to 250 tons of forming force, which covers most structural sheet and plate applications. If you're unsure whether your part falls within that range, bring your drawing and we'll confirm quickly.
Do you offer notching, punching, or cutting services beyond press brake work? +
Our iron worker handles notching, punching, cutting, and nibbling alongside press brake forming. Having both machines in-house means most forming and prep operations for your parts stay under one roof in Lacombe.
Can you form stainless steel or aluminum, not just carbon steel? +
Our press brake works with sheet and plate across materials — carbon steel, stainless, and aluminum are all common on our forming floor. Let us know your material spec and thickness and we'll confirm the setup before your job is scheduled.
