Well.....I have been bending aluminum for 23years and how is it that I have never seen that. Thanks for sharing that. I am going to look into it. Pretty awesome
Thank you. I am always looking for technique videos on the brake and there aren't many out there. This was great. I'm a home owner who is working on re-siding and trimming my house. I bought a nice brake and I can use it with decent results, but the technique isn't there. I have no idea how to plan out the work or anything, Ive tried different methods and I end up with so much waste. This is a very nice method and I think I'm going to try it tomorrow when I do some windows myself.
Damn that is efficient. Nice work. Do you struggle with hemming big pieces? like 8 inch wide and above. I get caught in the handle and I'm wondering if I'm the issue or if it's just like that on tapco brakes.
So let’s see a real window wrap with brick mound detail not just a cheesy sleazy c wrap I’m old school measure and mark guy who wraps tight to the sub straight I know the majority of guys float over and do cheap weak work show me how your gadget works on a real window wrap and I’ll try it
Look at all our other videos? We have over 20 other videos showing it in other applications outside corners with integrated Js, step fascias, soffit crown with integrated Js, etc... regardless of the piece you're making the idea is to save the whole first step of having to premark your material. You can read all the reviews of other users on amazon and see for yourself the feedback. Feel free to email me a drawing with the shape/detail you require and i'll be more than happy to make a video; alex@innovatools.ca Let me know if you have any other questions!

You should NEVER run your blade off of the end of your coilstock, it damages the hinge which will scratch your trim. Start on each end and cut to the middle. This guy is a hack.
I am that hack you are describing, here is my personal reason as to why i do it and you can make which ever decision you feel works best for your situation. Changing hand and stopping my cuts half way requires me to take that extra 2 secs per cut. On average per day i was doing about 150 cuts/day which meant ''wasting'' 300secs per day (or 5 mins). That 5 mins each day amounted to 25mins per week and 1250mins per year (or 20 hours per year). By not switching hands with the knife I'm saving 20 hours per year. On average it would take me around 4 years to go through the hinge where the brake needed to be replaced and i had saved about 80 hours of my time during that period. If you're making 10$ per hour it might not be worth it no, but use your hourly rate accordingly and you might just notice that it is VERY profitable to not switch hands PLUS you'll end up with a brand new brake every 4 years and have a lot more profit left in your pocket while working less hard from acting as a hack ;)
Super efficient (when there's no flipping needed of course). Thanks for the tips and for sharing your innovations.
time is money! thanks for following!
I never thought of it but you can cut them as you go . Thanks for the tip.
the less handling the better! no sense in making all the cuts and then having to reinsert them all into your brake afterwards

thanks! im not sure i understand what you mean by 8in pieces being hard to bend, can you post a video?!
Do you have any videos of you putting the cap on the windows after bending ?
No i do not! We'll try and get to that sometimes!
Any progress on your brake? Just checking
Yes! Expecting our latest prototype pieces in a few weeks!!! 🤞🤞🤞
Whats the longest length of coil that you can bend efficiently?
What do you mean?
Fuking awesome
thanks!

And you think brick mold is classy?
