I have used this Box and Pan brake for about a month and have made dozens of pans and hundreds of single bends without any problems. I have been bending 20Ga (0.032 in.) sheet steel that is 20 inches or less in width and 14 Ga (0.064 in.) brass bar that is 2 inches or less in width. The machine is sturdy, accurate, easy to use and seems well built. I got it on sale from Ebay with free super saver shipping and I am very happy with the purchase so far. If anything changes I will comment later.
