Pan and Box Brake Guides

I would like to use the Box Brake to make a small brass box. It’s not really even a box, it’s more of a folded brass sheet cover.

Could someone point me to instructions on using the specific brake we have? Is it enough to read through the manual for it? Thanks for the help.

We actually have training slides on it’s use; there are classes that pop up, but they are not required.

The slides are on the Metalworking committee share under the “Sheet Metal” folder.

Cheers,

That’s perfect. Thank you!

Perfect timing… Thanks!

I’m waiting on some uneven aluminum angle to arrive then bring it and a sheet of perforated aluminum to the space to fabricate a top for an old computer from the late 70s. :slight_smile:

I’m going to need to use the shear to cut it to size and the brake to fold in into shape.
