Abstract
A system for forming sheet metal (118) is disclosed. The system comprises a support plate (102) that is coupled to a base (108) and has at least one side plate (104) adjacent thereto. A clamping mechanism (200) fixes the side plate (104) to the support plate (102) so sheet metal (118) can be formed.
