    Default Small metal bending brake

    I'm was sure I had seen plans to build a small metal bending brake in either the HSM or Machinist Workshop. I can't find them!

    Can anyone help od direct me to any other source of plans for a small brake?

    Thank you,

    geb

    Default Sheet Metal Brake

    Check 'The Home Metal Shop Club" web page. There is a zip file with the drawings of one I designed a few years ago

    Default Brake article

    I believe the article you are looking for is in "The Home Shop Machinist" starting in the March/April 2008 issue and ran for three issues.

    I guess it depends on what one means by "small". Here's a site with plans that I bookmarked a couple years ago. It could be scaled down... It's on my list


    I also bookmarked this simple angle iron one :
