Re: Sheet metal brake

Through the generosity of our school district, we received this 3 in 1 brake/shear/roller so we can finally process sheet easily in-house.

It does 1/8" aluminum and up to 20 gauge steel on all functions, and works quite well. May not be the best for the price but sure does what we needed and well. Seems to be pretty robust as well. Also bends up to 3/8" steel rod. The brake blades and reliefs are standard sizes, what our sheet metal sponsor uses on some machines.
Beware, this thing weighs 1200lbs and is not easy to move from the school loading dock halfway across the school to your lab without a pallet jack. Learned this the hard way.
