Tonnage and sizing: big bends in big pieces take tonnage which is the hydraulic PSI needed to alter the flat sheet, typically expressed as tons of pressure because 150,000 takes up too much space verses 75 ton. Sizing. Once again, big pieces of metal being bent need big places to bend them in known as sizing. If you want to bend a 12ft piece of sheetmetal, the device has to be bigger than 12ft.

20 gauge would still need a ton of pressure even delivered by 32 ounce framing hammer blows or 4 pound sledge hammer

At point of contact even an ENGLISH wheel does this. Hint the beefy frame they have
