finger brake stand

[Ron Padilla]

this was sitting on a table in the garge, and was not convenient so I made up the cart. The cast consists of some 2 x 2, along with 2 x 4 tube and the mounts are oversize 2 x2, so that I can slip in someother small bender and a vise.

Not bad.

can you bend 1/8" aluminum on that?

[Ron Padilla]

1/8 is a little tough 16 gauge is not a problem, with 1/8 it will roll the edge and is a struggle, the 16 is nice clean crisp edge and that is what I bought it for.

hmmm.. damn.. I need something to be able to do 1/8".. I have a little HF brake that I modified, it works, but I want a box and pan...

with a little work, some extra metal, and maybe a little help from a machine shop it will do 1/8.
