Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit any vise? A: It requires a bench vise with flat steel jaws that are at least 4 inches wide to fully support the bending operation and allow the magnets to grip.
Q: Can I bend round wire in this brake? A: No, standard sheet metal brakes are designed with a flat edge for bending sheet stock. Attempting to bend round wire can dent the bending edge.
