Re: Sheet metal fabrication tools
Remember sheet aluminum usually comes in 48" widths. A 30" shear won't work.
You need a very good shear. If the blade moves even a little bit, the shear turns into a shear/bend 
If you get a break, be sure it comes with different width blades. You can mix them up for different width bends. You also need a good flat piece of steel to align the blades whe you set them up.
You also might consider a good flange plier. These are used for short bends but also can be used to straighten wavy bends.
