You Need This Tool - Episode 70 | Sheet Metal Pan And Box Brake

Got any stickers coming out? Or did I not see em. I gotta get some more of mine made, so I'll send ya some when I get em. Red Rooster Garage Arcata CA

"regular"brake= cornice brake.

finger brake is slang. pan and box brake is proper name

Hey from SPARTANBURG, SC

Would have been useful to use one of these today... Until I get one, I'll be using 2x4s and c-clamps haha

where is this man's Hat? lol

I'm wondering if you can adjust how sharp of a bend, maybe better described, as a 90` bend with a slight radius. I haven't worked around aluminum much, so I don't know, if that sharp of a bend weakens it. Make it more prone to cracking?

Sometimes I completely forgot it's Friday until your Friday video pop's up. Thanks.

That's definitely helpful to mention the brake with the teeth.

What's the thickest piece of steel you used on it with ease?

I could definitely use one. Thanks for the review.

where's the Nissan gtr project

I already knew i needed a metal brake for the shop and was planning for it. That was nice seeing why a teethed one is worth the extra money. The duhh moment came when you showed the magnetic angle finder. Damn, i need THAT tool ! Thanks for the video.

Excellent episode brother!

Its Saturday FOOL ... LOL

don't know if you mentioned the grain direction of the aluminum as to not to break the metal. keep up the Fab.

hey man just watching you video on the grey goose brakes an you were looking for parts to build your a arms, check out welder series you can Google them the have a fair amount of builder parts, hope that helps!! take er easy

Another smaller budget friendly brake maybe the SWAG 20 TON Finger Brake Heavy Duty. It makes use of a Press you may already own in the shop.

Thanks, I was an ACFT fabricator for 20 years and am now retired and getting into auto fabrication for something to do while retired. I enjoy your channel.

interesting videos Mr Voss. cheers

Love your video.
Do you use the 48" often? or for someone starting a 24" would do the trick for car parts like the one you show.

Would love to see the stand you fabricated for it.

Can you do a video where you test the max thickness of the brake?

I noticed there are brakes that have holes on the lower portion for a piece of basically angle iron the helps bend the metal. I think they call it an apron ? Yours has the holes but it is removed. Is this just for extra leverage for thicker gauge metal ? I picked up a used Tennsmith brake that does not have them although it still retails at $900. They say its good for 22ga. Looks like the ones that have it are rated for 16ga.

Just found the channel and subbed.

Love the tool videos boss thank you

Amigo ayudame hasta cuanto de espesor dobla esa maquina dobladora atras de ti

Yo Kyle. New subber there. Love the channel. You have a small typo in this description. The first 2 links are titled 48 inch but the 1st one actually 24 inch. Thanks for the wealth of information on your channel. Keep it going!

HE SAID .... "WERE NOT MAKIN GUTTERS HERE" .. AWESOME . THANKS FOR THIS VID!

High great video, what sort of a brake would I require to make a rifle magazine please bud

and I'd be willing to bet it will make you lots of friends
I noticed people got friendlier when I bought my truck
then more people got more friendly after I got my welder

got one a whole lot like what you are showing

found it on Craig's List for $600
came with a real nice home made stand
Now I'm set / I won't need to buy another tool for the rest of my life !!

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

@The Fab Forums - what type of aluminum and gauge do you usually use for your projects?

Good machine man

Called a Finger brake

The only sad part is they show/use a miller welder😢

Question what can I use to bend 14g metal.

This model is the worst pan brake I've ever used. It's an absolute piece of shit. The tooth steel is as soft as ally. Nothing is straight end to end. Trust me, don't buy.

Thank you for the video and showing how to use the brake. Noticed on some of the pieces you showed there were indentations in the metal. How do you make those, bead roller? Subscribed

I just got one of these from Craigslist. It's hardly used, $250. Xmas came early.

A open ended pressbrake with cnc control is far superior. 👨‍🏭

Their called fingers not teeth. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ it called a finger brake or a box and pan brake. Not teeth
And the thing you stuck the angle finder to is called the apron. If you going to do a video about a tool research the correct terms and parts of the tool

Holy crap. I've seen women who are less wordy. Work while ya talk.
