Compact, but HEAVY DUTY!
By Kevin Bohn ~ Shopdawg.com
This little brute is a study in functionality. In my 24+ years as a machinist and industrial maintenance technician, I had the opportunity to use several multi-thousand dollar bending brakes for fabricating brackets, parts, and the like. One thing I noticed is that most of the expensive 48 inch brakes were used to bend material that was 10 inches or less wide. The finger dies of the 10 inches on either end of the 48 inch capacity of these high dollar machines show much wear, and the middle is virtually unused. If there is so much use on a small section of the brake, why pay for the rest of it? That's where this little beauty shines. Most other small brakes are flimsey to say the least, but not so with this unit. It will tackle bending jobs that most of the competition can't make a dent in.
The only two things that keep this unit from a 5-star rating are the ecentric bushings that adjust the tips of the die fingers to the bending edge. They require a spanner type wrench (not included). In the shop of Shopdawg.com we made new bushings that use a 3/4" box wrench. Much easier to adjust. The other item is the finger dies are quite sharp on the forming edges. They have a tendancy to crease the material. A minute or two with a stone to form a small radius on the edges, and the bends are absolutely beautiful.
Overall impression--- you will be suprised at how well this unit is constructed, and how much you will use it.
