MKC TOOLS
Shop built sheet metal brake. The base is 2" x 3" x 3/8"
wall angle iron. The bending arm is 2" x 2" x 3/8" wall angle
with ball bearing pivots. Handles formed from 3/8" x 2"
bar. I have bent 16 ga. about 8" wide with it with
no problems. I use a hex 3/8" coupler cut in half
and welded in slots in the main angle frame for the
pivot points. Shoulder bolts through ball bearings
into the nuts. It is 27" wide. I used some scrap 1/2"
x 2" channel from telephone company cable rack as
a hold down and have cut several pieces certain lengths
for boxes.
