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

There used to be a nice web site showing how to strengthen the machine, but I
have lost the url. It involved bolting a strongback on the back side of the
blade in place of the stiffening strap. It was about a 1/2" x 3" bar that went
from end to end and prevented the blade from flexing. The owner was able to
shear fairly heavy stainless steel after the modification.
