Re: Need a little help
Harbor Freight has some economical table top units.
What gauge metal you need to bend? Gage and Withs are the limiting factor in breaks. st/

Re: Need a little help
A buddy of mine drives an open wheel modified race car and we are looking to build a brake to use on the body panels. Some of his body panels are 60+ inches...Aluminum sheets (.040"). If we could get a couple of good pictures of some homemade ones I think we could go from there

Re: Need a little help
You might want to go to the Miller welding site. They have one on the plans page. Miller Motorsports.com
