I finally got round to making my sheet metal break. Used pieces of steel I had laying around the shop. Some I have had for a long time. I can fit an 18" piece in it.

So far it has exceeded my expectations.

Looks pretty much professional.
 
David - congratulations on the success. We all need a break now and then.

(sorry, couldn't resist).

Say, are you going to add handles to assist in the folding/bending?

Handles are on the way. At the moment I use vice grips. Also going to add angle brackets at both ends so I can clamp it doewn to the bench.

Great job David. So much easier and more accurate bends. I am working on making a radius brake to make my fuel tank. Think I am going with a Ron Covell version. Love making custom tools. Frank
