Default 3 in 1 roll/brake/shear question

The table will bend or break in the middle if you try to exceed the
shear limit. BTDT. It's $34 from HF parts. The unit is top heavy. Bolt
it down securely, or consider what a couple hunderd pounds will feel
like on the tops of your feet. The roll and brake work well.

I'm looking at a used 30" import 3 in 1 sheet metal machines. What's the
usual wear or breakage points?

I don't plan to use it much, mostly quick little prototype projects in
my home shop. I have access to bigger machines when I need to do
anything serious or precision.
