Micro break?

Postby Slotcar13 » Mon Mar 25, 2013 9:01 am

Guys,
Can any one make me a mini break for bending brass? I need it to be bench mount able to bend brass sheet up to 1/16 thick. The size I'm looking for is 6-8" ya not big but need nice 90deg bend repetitly. I have a big bread that dose not cut it due to its to big and the hf one is still to big for my needs.

Here in CANADA Princess Auto sells a small benchtop brake. If on sale you can grab it for about 20 bucks. Not sure if that helps but you can atleast check it out on the web!

I got one from Grizzly but then found the exact same one at MicroMark and Harbor Freight.

looks good but the specks are a bit shady

.02 X 3 hard brass is its max range
I build my bulkheads from .062 X .5 brass I wonder if it will bend that

anyone have one of these?

Jon, I have one of these that doesn't get much use. I do not think its strong enough to bend .062" stock.

The one I posted will not make that narrow of a bracket without making a narrower top plate for the brake.
