Tooling Categories

Brim Iron, Plating machine or Brim breaker

This machine of many names is designed to create the hard crease between the brim and the crown of a hat. The Brim iron comes with 1 set of plates. These plates are heated by the iron and the crown of the hat is inserted into the hole in the center of the plate. The brim is sandwiched between the plate and the iron top giving the brim a nice flat clean crease.
