Any one have any diagrams? I am attempting to build a pan brake to bend
1/8 sheet metal up to 36 inches wide manuelly. Using 4 x 7.3 channel
iron and 1/4 x 4 angle. Will use 1/2 x 3 F.B. where needed. Thanks.


1/8" X 36" is going to take you a LOT more than the materials you
listed, and 36" bend in 8 gauge is going to be virtually impossible with
a manual unit. I don't know of a commercial manual that goes much over
12 gauge.

A 60 ton press brake with proper dies can do it.
