Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I bend a closed box with this machine? A: No, this is a standard straight brake. To bend a fully closed box where all four sides are folded up, you require a specialized box and pan brake with removable fingers.
Q: Does this brake need to be bolted down permanently? A: While it can be permanently bolted to a workbench, its 40 lb weight and smaller capacity mean it can simply be clamped securely to a table when in use, retaining its portability.
