Sheetmetal brake

I guy down the road has a HF brake for sale at a good price. He purchased it new and used it to make rocker panels for cars. I would use it occasionally but not a lot. It’s one of those things that would make some jobs a lot easier than trying to bend it over the edge os a table. :106: :peace: Harry

Harry it doesn't take up much space. Hint hint nudge nudge.

Back in the day when I built race cars I had a 6'er that I had built from scratch . Would bend 18g for 6' and 16g for 4' . Many times working on repairing decks I wish I had it or small and heavy enough to make repair panels .

That’s what I thought Spike. There are some items that I need to move out. :peace: Harry

That's a very handy brake. I have the same one. I've made some modifications to mine and can handle some thicker material.

My condolences Harry for loosing out on the Brake. About 3 years ago I bought a small bench mount brake (3FT) from HF. I have used it twice!
