Portable Vise-Mounted "Brake" Bends Sheet And Scrap Metal
If you could use a sheet metal brake from time to time but don't need a full-size machine, you might want to consider the Vise-Brake, from Brut Manufacturing Company, Navarre, Ohio. It fits into an ordinary shop vise.
Brut Manufacturing, which makes auto body tools, put together the 20-in. brake for smaller shops. While it can be mounted permanently on a workbench or stand, the Vise-Brake can also be mounted solidly in any shop vise and then put away again after use so it doesn't take up valuable bench space.
The Vise-Brake will easily handle 20- in. wide sheets of 18-gauge steel and heavier gauges in narrower widths. It has two vinyl grip handles, giving it plenty of leverage for easy bending.
Because it's lightweight (shipping weight of under 40 lbs.) and not permanently mounted, the Vise-Brake can be used in the field on a pickup-mounted vise to make brackets from strap iron or bend sheet metal into repair or replacement panels, covers, etc.
