Sheet metal brake
I'm looking to add a sheet metal brake to my workshop in order to be able to make various brackets, mounts, etc. I thought I'd poll the collective widsom here to see how large a brake I should be considering. I'm thinking of this 24" box and pan brake from Eastwood:
https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-24...tal-brake.html
They run them on sale @ ~$280 a few times a year, so I'll probably wait until the next sale, but I'd love some input on whether a 24" brake is large enough? It seems like price goes up exponentially above 24". Also a 24" brake is (barely) light enough that I can move it onto the workbench when I need it and then put it away when not using it, whereas a larger brake would be taking up bench or floor space permanently. Thoughts?
Thanks,
John
