Here is a pic of bending standard "L" on the Tapco house siding brake, 

although the "L" in the picture is .016, bending .025" works out the same. 

When "scrapbuilding", "L" is nearly free!

Thanks Randy. I don't have one of those brakes nor ready access to one but I did get a generous offer from another lister who has daily access to a shear and a CNC brake. I took him up on the offer and paying him 40% more than he asked saved me over 60% of what Zenith was going to charge. I'm not sure why Zenith feels compelled to create such a profit center out of this item but as I said before, I support their right to do it for whatever reason. It does somewhat erode customer loyalty though and they must realize that.

Randy-

    Is a "Tapco" an aluminum siding brake?

All-

    Cripes, I should know by now to read every posting before asking a 

stupid question. Disregard last posting.

Hey Bill:

    I used the term "house siding brake" because it will also bend "skinny"

steel flashing etc.  Attached is a pic of most of the brake with a piece of

"L" leaning against it.  I paid $500.00 for the brake used so I could bend

"Free" "L" after I cut the blanks on the $500.00 stomp shear I bought.used.

The Tapco will not bend .040, so I also bought a 8' x .062 (steel)

RoperWhitney used for $1500.00 and had to pay $150.00 for a crane truck to

move it.  But the "L" angle I bend is "nearly" free!



Regards,

Randy-

    Sort of like the money you save buying a $2000 welder for a half-dozen 

welds.

    My neighbor has an aluminum siding brake (He's a contractor) and that's 

the reason I asked in the first place.

    No matter. If I'm really careful, I won't need more than I have left 

anyway.
