Hi
Does anyone have any plans (preferably electronic) for a 8 foot metal bending break.
I am currently getting the tools required together but cannot find one as yet.
Plenty of 3 foot ones.
Thanks
Ron

Ron there are some plans for Brakes in the Builders Resources section of
www.ch601.org but ideally you may wish to have a chat with Larry
Mcfarland. I have a set of plans for his 8 ft brake and I'm very
impressed! As soon as I'm done building my Zodiac I will be building
Larry's brake. Ever wonder why people say I sometimes do things
backwards?

You need to go to
Mac's Machine & Design
This site contains a 4 year record and several hundred pages of journal in 7
segments that describe the methods I've used to scratch-build the 601HDS
from plans-only.
www.macsmachine.com -
This is Larry McFarland's great blog on building a 601 complete with
pictures. He has a set of plans for $35 but he refunds the money after you
send a photo of your completed 8' brake. It does involve some welding put it
is a professional type bending brake when completed as machine design was
Larry's "real" job. He has a 3-part, 49-page manual. It consists of
drawings, photos, bill-of-material, process-methods and sequence that simply
describes the project from start to finish.

Hi Ron:
I purchased Larry's 8' brake plans and constructed the brake two summers ago.
Larry's plans are excellent. It's a challenging but rewarding job to build it.
If you would like to see some of the steps required to build the brake, go
to my website here:
http://www.cooknwithgas.com/Brake.html
I believe Larry's website has information on the plans. I've used it for over
a year and I'm happy with the performance.
Good luck,
Scott Laughlin

Ron, I, as a insane tool junkie would never attempt to dissuade anyone from
getting more tools, bigger tools and more obscure tools, but I have an option
you might consider. I needed a bunch of "L" angle broke and some custom pieces
bent as well. I also had several large scrape pieces of .19 and .25 gage
sheet. What I did was find a friendly gutter man to cut them on his 10 foot
cutter and break the slices on his 10 foot break. Made enough L for two XLs.
He
wanted to do it for free, but I "forced" $25.00 on him for beer money. That
was a ton cheaper than even a poor quality cutter and break. Course, you may
really "need" these tools. If so, I would suggest you contact your local
gutter installer(s) and they will know all the dealers, and maybe where you could
find a used one. Best regards, Bill of Georgia

Bill you must have gotten lucky, any of the brakes I had looked at that
were made for siding had too severe a bend radius. I even went as far as
buying one thinking I could incorporate the 1/8 radius but gave up and
made the 4 footer while borrowing a friends 8 ft brake.

Don't know if this is obvious to everyone else but me before it was
suggested to me, but if you get a piece of scrap large gage tin as long as
your brake and bend it around the blunt nose you can bend your aluminum
around it (the tin). You should be able to mesure the outside of the tin
after it is bent and if it is the correct thickness it will give you a 1/8
inch bend once you bend the aluminum around it. you just place this peice in
the brake with your aluminum under it and bend around. You do have to adjust
the brake to allow for the additional thickness of the heavy gage tin. I
have a couple of peices that I use whenever I use somone's brake. Works very
well. I have read about guys radiusing there own brakes but this seems more
difficult and less reversable. I may build Lary's break myself and
semi-permanently attach this type of radius mod to it so that I will have
the option to remove it if I want to use it for other things.
