Provide routes through the framing for running of electrical and plumbing helps eliminate wasted time by tradesman punching or drilling holes onsite. The hole size is usually 34mm (1 11/32")

Allows a stud to pass through a block (nog), meaning the blocking or nog line can be continuous if required. This punch is also used for braces and automating cutting on areas where manual cutting would otherwise be needed.

Allows sections to connect inside another section. Helps eliminate manual cutting.

Standard Punch is a 3.5mm (0.140") diameter hole punched in the centre of the web, used for locating truss members placed back to back.

Locating and fastening points in the flange of the section, with a recessed hole, usually of 3.5mm (0.140") diameter. The screw (or rivet) fastening will sit in the recess leaving a flat surface for the finishing panels. The dimples also make assembly of the frames easy, by aligning and holding the joint prior to a fastening been placed.

Used to reduce the width of the section to allow sections to fit easily inside another, and keeping the edge of the frame even. This swaging also allows the stud to sit flat on the track for full end bearing and load transfer.

Cuts every component precisely to length. On 1.6mm (16g) Steel FrameMaster Rollformers, the shear also has a profile squaring tool which eliminates any profile distortion caused by the shear action in the heavy gauge profile.

Crimps the end of a section to allow it to fit firmly down on the web of the section, fitting into the radius.

The FrameCAD software can automatically create wall and part numbers for every component of the structure. An Inkjet Printer option can be fitted to the Steel FrameMaster to automatically identify each component, saving time, and the possibility of mistakes.

The information printed by the Inkjet Printer details all the information required to identify and orientate the component and also gives the manufacturer opportunity to display additional information, such as material properties, company advertising, or production shift information. On the Single Phase Steel FrameMaster Rollformers, a Label Printer is available instead of an Inkjet Printer.

A Roller Stamp Printer can be fitted to the machine to regularly place information on the section required to meet some building codes.
