Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I bend materials thicker than 16 gauge on this brake? A: No, forcing materials beyond the 16-gauge mild steel limit can permanently bow the bending apron and damage the fingers.
Q: Do I need to bolt this machine to my workbench? A: Yes, given the 350-pound weight and the significant leverage required to bend 16-gauge steel, it must be securely bolted down to prevent tipping.
