Abstract: An automatic edge turner for sheet metal that includes a pair of perpendicularly oriented bending blades. One of the blades is vertically oriented and is adapted to be reciprocated by a power tool such as a unit shear. The other blade is horizontally disposed and is fixedly positioned adjacent and below the reciprocating blade. The stationary blade is maintained in position by a holding unit which extends rearwardly and arcuately about the housing for the reciprocating blade. The stationary blade is adapted to ride underneath the edge of sheet metal to be bent, and the two blades have cooperating right angled surfaces for bending the edge of sheet metal as it passes therebetween.
