When they say 20GA max, they mean it. I BROKE the cast iron shear table
on mine foolishly trying to shear 16GA copper sheet. Actually did get in
quite a few cuts first, though. Replacement table was $34. The shear
requires some careful setup to work properly. The roll is good, and the
box brake is very good. The machine is useful for light work.

*Really* need toe brakes on all 4 wheels, unless you want to chase it

How do you like the HF 3-in-1? It's been on my kinda want to get one
list for a while.
