We left multiple voice messages and sent several emails without any response. This company has horrible customer support. I don't know if I will ever receive my order.

    So the z pattern you skipped what you did on that second bend. I believe you went went a half inch from edge and made your second break?

    Better lighting would be good , maybe bend a holder to move it up.

  • @ephemeralcreek
    @ephemeralcreek Год назад

    I believe you can do all the bends on the brake and avoid the mallet move if you flip the piece over after the first bend. We would scribe the lines on it first for alignment. Back in college I did 1000s of these for collars for chase caps. I could be remembering wrong though, we had an 8' brake, and the seams were only about 36" long so the brake would just smash the thing down nice and flat....and we could hand crank it through rollers after that, then spot weld it and beat it into place on the chase cap.

    • @TheSheetMetalKid707

    So how much do you add to the metal to allow for the pittsburg seam? For example if I want it to finish off at 18" what do I cut the material to?

    • @TheSheetMetalKid707
      @TheSheetMetalKid707 4 месяца назад

      19" a small pittsburg is a 1" allowance and a large pittsburg is 1-1/2"

      @TheSheetMetalKid707 4 месяца назад

      I appreciate your input. A lot easier if you dont have a pittsburg lock machine or a friend with one. Also works well on throats for elbows that are shorter. a 2x2 throat was possible to run through the machine but would sometimes go wonky and screw the whole thing up. I used to do these for all my square throats

    Is this guy for real? That was so awful on so many levels! First of all BOLT YOUR BRAKE DOWN TO A SECURE TABLE NUMBNUTS !! I was waiting for it to come crashing down on your feet, howabout bending your second mark in from the edge at a 90° flip the metal over place it on the outside of the brake, bend your first mark ALL THE WAY OVER TO A 45 then flatten it out, take it from me a 40 year veteran of tin bending

    Lol, "easier". Two hands and a knee, while balancing on one foot and tugging on a 200+ brake. Lose your balance and you'd pull the whole thing right over on top of you. Just for one little piece of thin metal. Let's see you use the "easier" method on full-width 22 gauge. But I'll give you full points for using a mallet instead of a hammer on your brake.
