Title: Anyone in DC/Baltimore with a sheetmetal brake?
Post by: Artful on January 04, 2011, 12:56:55 PM
I need to fold some .063 aluminum fairly precisely, anyone local with access to a brake? I can use the board and hammer method if needed, but I figured I would ask around.

I rented one from Ace and from Sunbelt, they have 2 or 3 sizes up to 10 ft wide.

Allstate Sheetmetal has offered to do it on the cheap. I actually might just do it by hand. I did a test piece and it kicked my ass, but then I realized I had grabbed a piece of .080 scrap. Tried it with a piece that really was .063 and it bent much easier. It's only two simple bends so I don't think it'll be a problem.
