While constructing some light reflectors several months ago I had a hankering for a box and pan brake--but couldn't find one for less than $1000.
I was at a place called Harbor Tools, I think its a chain, they had a brake, shear combo for about $300. Chinese made nothing you would add to your NASA shop, but it was heavyu duty and looked like it would do the trick for a camera bodger who only occasionally risks sheet metal cuts. ---William Nettles [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nettles Photo / Imaging Site http://www.wgn.net/~nettles Find out what's happening in Echo Park: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2002 00:37:12 -0600 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Cameramakers digest, Vol 1 #494 - 15 msgs > > 2) You really will need something like a brake or a horizontal shear to get > the thin sheet metal cut with real accuracy and smoothness.
