Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this brake bend a full 90-degree corner? A: Yes, this machine is capable of bending sheet metal anywhere from a flat 0 degrees all the way past a right angle up to a 120-degree sweep.
Q: Can I bend stainless steel with this 16-gauge brake? A: Stainless steel is much harder than mild steel. To avoid damaging the bending apron, you must reduce your maximum capacity by at least two to four gauges when working with stainless.
