Hitch,
I'm bending fairly small pieces of 1mm galvanised sheet steel to make up some supports for 2 part epoxy mixers.

Is it complex folding, or would a simple hand folder work...?
Places like machine mart do ones designed for thin sheet, proabably about 1mm capacity. Theres a few heavier duty ones on ebay most of the time.

If its only short parts, a fly press with some pressbarake tooling fitted in it would work a treat, especially if its repetitiive bends

Thanks Mitch, I hadn't thought of Machine Mart, I'll take a look.
Cheers,
