Abstract:
A method of forming a duct section from a web of material includes the steps of forming a series of perforations in a web of material, the series of perforations defining an outline of one of a hole or notch in a finished duct section, forming a male lock bend and a female lock seam in first opposed edges of the web of material, forming flanges in second opposed edges of the web of material, removing the portion of material interior to the series of perforations to form the hole or notch, and bending the web of material to form the finished duct section.
