Stamping and forming apparatus (54) has a bending station in which blanks (28,28'), which extend from the two side edges of strip material (4), are reversely bent (180) degrees in opposite directions so that the end portions (36a,36a') of the reversely bent blanks extend back towards the carrier strip (4). The apparatus has first and second tooling assemblies (86,86') which are on ram assemblies (72,72'). The ram assemblies move relatively towards and away from each other with the strip positioned (4) between the tooling assemblies. Each tooling assembly (86,86') has a mandrel (44,44') around which the blank (28,28') is bent and each tooling assembly has two bending sets of tooling therein, a primary bending set (46,46') and a secondary bending set (50/50') for bending the blank initially through a 90 degree angle and then completing the bending operation to form a 180 degree bend.
