kinda cool, only thing that sucks is you cant make boxes with that design since it doesnt have removeable teef.....

I have never seen a DIY box and pan brake. I think because you would almost need a mill to make the slots for mounting the fingers and the fingers themselves.I am torn between making my own or just paying the $500 for a seemingly halfway decent import brake.Tools suck!

I wonder how hard it'd be to change this into a 10ft. brake.. We have to rent one for bending metal when we do vinyl siding, $50 a day but we don't do much vinyl.. so it's worth the price. BUT, for a DIY brake's price.. it might be worth it. I'll check on the thickness on the metal we use also..
