Hello,
I'm looking for a small benchtop brake to bend 14g aluminum (5052, or 6061) 5" wide, bend 90 deg. repeatable and predictable.
After a couple designs and a few failed attempts to make a special jaw device for a cheap Harbor Freight 5" vice, I have realised I need somting purpose built.
Quick googling renders this inexpensive chinese unit, sold where ever chinese equipment is sold.

It seems to be what I need, minus the sheer function.
Is there somthing else (better) I should be looking at?
