Hi All,

I'm on the lookout for a small sheet metal brake (folder) to modify
the ally chassis on a little 12th scale electric RC car my daughter
wants to build, race and maintain herself (well that's one excuse bor
buying another tool g) and for general bending-things in the
workshop afterwards

Previously I have just set the sheet between two bits of steel (bar,
angle or square tube) in the vice (and some clamps) and worked the
bend with a soft hammer / drift bar etc but I fancy something a bit
more sophisticated now ;-)

These folk seem to offer something in my price range .. (24.96
delivered g)

(scroll down to "18" Mini Bending Brakes")

... but has anyone seen something I could actualy 'touch / play with /
take-away' in a local shed / chain that would be similar price / spec
please?

I would probably adapt the above one to 'vice mount' in any case by
bolting it to a bit of h/d angle ..

All the best ..
