Explanation:
Dornar are different types of drifts, used to punch things out of holes. There are hammerable/punch drifts used for nails in carpentry, and larger drifts used for industry. Bockdorn is a machine used to form bends. Engströms calls it a test bend former, see the reference below for a sample machine.
