✔️ DIY No Weld Sheet Metal Brake
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 มิ.ย. 2024
- I needed a sheet metal brake to fix some windows around the house. Since a reasonable price metal brake could be found in local store, it gave me an excuse to build one. Also, as a challenge I decided not to use a welder to make this metal bender. Which makes it much easier to break down and store in the shop when it isn't being used.

Hope you like the video. Leave a comment and let me know what you think about it.
Like it. How much space does it take disassembled for storage
Making Stuff where are the links to the parts and other stuff for building and electronics to run and do this project. I’m excited about this and hope you can help with the mpcnc. Thanks a head from bo cash
I've watched a few but didn't quite get the physics of it all. You have a way of making things less complicated and crystal clear. Great teacher. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
This is what I need - simple and inexpensive for bending thin aluminum. Thanks!
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
The best and easiest sheet metal break I've seen so far and I've watched too many. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I started welding a year ago and now probably need a simple brake to bend sheet metal. This design looks like the best option for a DIY metal brake. You did a great job on this project.
Thanks for watching!
My hair is finally at the same length as yours here and I've noticed all my metal and woodworking has improved.
Some say it's from practice, but I know it's because of the hair!
I need sheet metal brake myself. This one is relatively simple and gets the job done!!
I really appreciate your videos, and this one is no exception. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to keeping us up on what you’re doing!
Thank you.
Great build, and great improvement tips at the end of the video as well. Awesome job.
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Nice and simple!
I have intentions of building a bender so this was a good video. I have not decided on the length yet though.
Great video, I will be making one of these at work for some 1/8" sheet metal I have to bend. Subbed you. Thanks for sharing.
Hey I absolutely love your diy style, great videos! I like that this is no weld. I've got a window project too and would love to try this. Thanks for sharing man! love the music selections too!
Thank you!
Nice work Bob! Another well done project and video!
Thank you!
Very helpful, thank you. I agree about the blend of welding for strength and bolts for storage; that's my plan anyway. Cheers.
Glad it was helpful!
Best video yet !
Wow ! That was great !
yeah looks good, I need one myself thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Nice job!!!
Very good video think I will make one like that very good
New subscriber here!! Love the video! No nonsense and highly practical. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the sub!
For people without welding equipment (the vast majority of viewers) this is particularly helpful because they would be able to build one for themselves! Subscribed.
Thanks for watching!
Learn to weld. Its easy and you can get a used mig for cheap.
I LIKE THE EXPLANAtion noce and clear
Maybe some heavy duty springs under the hold down where the bolts are
Great instruction! TY sir!
Thanks for watching!
Use thicker angle for a sharper bend.
Як завжди цікаво і детально. Лайк.
Excellent video
Thank you.
Way cool mate!
Thanks!
I was hoping you were going to make some angle stops for it, but it is functional for your purpose
Very good video.
Thank you.
wow....just wow......thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Put springs on the bolts under the top angle so when you undo it the angle lifts up and you can just move your steel and bolt it down again. Also Id weld a T handle onto the bolts so you don't need a tool every time.
Cool, thanks
Oh my, I might need to eventually get in touch with you and have you Bend up a generator box for our Champion generator. Maybe one day. LOL
Sure thing, as long as it isn't wider than 42 inches :)
Well, that was an interesting build and video. It would be nice to the see the finished bends instead of waving it in front of video. That would allow the viewers to inspect the actual bends as to quality. Also the base materials were quite flimsy. But id all you are doing something one time like your needs, it should work.
nice work on the Brake Bob the ability to bend over 36” is pretty common do like the way you went about this design without the welding
Thanks 👍
I have 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 1/8" angle iron or should i use bigger pieces Yhanks T
Good work
Thanks!
Good work, able to make 4mts length
would this type of brake work if made in oak for thinner sheet no more than 1mm thick? Just wondering as I need to bend 6" long pieces to a right angle and don't need something so big.
Very nice.
Thank you
Good quality video. This is much simpler than many DIY brakes. I can use some of this for one I'm making. What gauge metal do you bend with yours? What lube did you use for drilling and tapping?
The lube is CRC Cutting Fluid. I have only really bent the aluminum flashing for the widows with it so far. It will bend 16ga but I have not made any projects with it yet.
I like your addition of the flat bar. Ive noticed with most angle iron the edges are kind of rounded off. using the flat bar ensures a nice sharp bend! just what i was looking for :)
Most of the time you just grind the edge of the angle iron down so one edge is pretty much sharp. His bends could have been alot tighter to
Thats very true!
I dont have a grinder though :p
rounded corners on metal need nice tight square corners
Just discovered your channel and really like the quality of your video, audio and editing. I'm intrigued by your welding table. Did you make it or buy it?
Made it. There is a video about it on the channel.
@@MakingStuff Thanks!
The flat bar seems a little redundent with the angle iron on top to 'hold it down in the center. Why not just use the angle iron?
Another awesome video. what would happen though if you needed a pan brake? I have a solution
Thanks for watching!
I really love that bender so easy I’ve got to make one now thanks mate larrysullivan in london
The flat-bar for the top-jaw seems redundant with the angle-bar on top, because the angle should be rigid and straight without the flat under it.
Alternatively, turn the top-jaw angle-bar so that one flange sits flat (an upright "L") facing forwards, so that you can bend an edge right over for a lip/safety edge on future sheet-metal prtojects.
The "bracing legs" you described for welding on to stop the break from rolling backwards could just as easily be attached like the handles to the moving jaw, so no welding is really required.
Thanks for the input and thanks for watching!
1:10 where did you get that tape measure? can't find those in central usa here in the 18th century.
Woodcraft
Is there a list
good vedio.
Many many thanks
What are the tools you think beginners should get to start woodworking I like your channel
Start with the basics then slowly add more tools as you get better. You can make a lot with just a hammer, cordless drill and a hand saw.
I just got a 1/4 in router and a round over bit
Btw you should make a video on what kinds of screws to use depending on what your doing
New camera? Really crisp
Nope, new lights in the shop.
What size did you make your breaker for sheet-metal 36 inches
It's 42 inches because I had to make pieces for some windows and the 36" breaks were not long enough. I think that is why they window guy never came back and finished the job.
Did you post a WTB on the BOYD?
I'll start a WD ASAP.
Where did you get that bandsaw?
Thanks
Harbor Freight
Like when people make stuf/tools but hate to se unfinished in the end (chamfer all drilled holes, sand sharp edges/corners after cutting stock to lengt)
I love when people critique / correct someone’s work, yet can’t spell to save their lives. satuf = stuff. Shamfer = Chamfer..lol
@@RedBorg1 So you feeling proud now to comment on 4 years old comment where you find some typo...
You c could save yourself some time and WD40 if you make yourself a small weighed cup (mine was a 4" piece of square 1.5 x1.5 tube with a flat plate welded on the bottom) to pour a little cutting oil in and you can just dip your drill and or tap in it! Take it from someone that used to drill and tap all day long! You can even make it magnetic Or just sit it in a magnetic bowl. And stick an acid brush in it to brush on if needed! Your welcome!
9 x 5
You could have just offset the pins on the hinges
💯💯💯💯
Good job. Ukraine watch on you video.
Thanks for watching!
Aint self help the best help out there?
anyone who actually tries this will be disappointed! the hinges will never hold up even bending super thin material!
Ive worked a few 20' breaks.. maybe a little DIY setup with no safety gear needs to have weak hinges. The jaws on those things stay pretty hungry
Good video but you can rent 8' and 10' sheet metal benders (aluminum breaks) from home depot for like 80$ if your doing flashing. Just saying to save you time and effort.
Now bend a corner :-)
Yet ANOTHER video ignoring the basic fact that the clamp bar needs to be adjustable, that it needs to slide back to take into account the thickness of the metal being bent, slotted holes are required in the base with a nut that will slide on the underside. If it just clamps down directly above the hinge centreline then the metal physically cannot be bent to 90 degrees, a point is reached where the metal thickness begins to want to push the clamp bar back. If bolted straight down a few mm back then thinner metal won't bend where you want it to and will not be a tight radius
And if adjustable then adjustable stops need to be made so once set you can bend several without having to measure each time.
It's not rocket science, draw a few cross sections with different thicknesses of metal being bent if you can't see it in your head.
I like your projects but you need more cuts to hurry a vid along bro. Nobody needs to watch holes drilled/tapped in order... Just saying. Nice brake man, good job and nice trick with the notches.
Thanks for watching!
That would not work very well.
that is too weak, so you can bend at the most aluminum foil on the whole length ...
Good video. What gap should there be between the two angle irons in millimeters before we mount the hinges on.
@@sanjeethnundcoomar7630 should be flat or flush on the tops and touching
FUFLO‼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
