Re: Sheet metal brake

Becker High SChool (FRC 4607) just purchased one of these and I will be honest, we are not happy with it. It is not a machine that was built well. It is very inaccurate and many of the fittings are either to sloppy, or to tight.

Save your $500 and find a second hand one.

Just my 2cents.

We'll probably buy used, but here is a new one we'll also consider:
