A metal forming machine for forming metal components from wire or metal strip by passing a length of wire or metal strip between reciprocally operated forming slides comprising:
- a. a machine frame;
- b. a first bed support extended along a first axis mounted within said frame, said first bed support carrying two bed surfaces having planes lying perpendicular to each other;
- c. a second bed support extended along a second axis parallel to said first axis mounted within said frame, said second bed support carrying two bed surfaces having planes lying perpendicular to each other and the bed surface planes of said second bed support being parallel to respective bed surface planes of said first bed support;
- d. means integral with said first and second bed supports to support a plurality of tool carriers from each of said bed surfaces;
- and,
- e. means to provide reciprocating motion to tools in tool carriers supported from said bed surfaces.
