14 ga cutting tool

Post by Gizmo » December 8th, 2011, 1:20 pm

Does anyone know if the electric 14 ga hand-held shear actually works from Harbor freight? They're showing one for $50 and I work with a lot of 14 ga sheet ... experience says it might handle it but prolly won't...

Also trying to come up with a decent brake for 16 ga and thinner for small projects if anyone has a recommendation...

Santa was asking...

:)

Not sure how you guys feel about posting "competition sites" but remove if I'm doing bad.

Homemade bender that I haven;t made yet:

LOL not a major welding site but dang it, if you have a plumbing problem this is the place to hang. :BDHorse:

Stay tuned........since finances are at a loss right now I will be building a brake during the cold months. Intentions are to be able to brake 16 ga stainless.
