Hi everyone.

Does anyone know of anyone who makes a decent medium duty box & pan
break
that might also have a kick shear on the same stand? Many years ago I
saw
one in a shop that had the shear setup behind the break. Nice,
compact, well
built, but of course one never writes down details like who made it!
I'd
like to find something in 16ga or better and 36" wide would be
plenty. I
have looked at the Harbor Freight, Jet, Etc. 3N1's but I need more
than 90'
bends.. If it wasn't for my running out of space I'd just get a
normal shear
and brake.

Thanks all,
Karl

Karl,
Try Grizzly.com  They have a 36" brake/shear/roller combo I have been
thinking of buying but was waiting for someone else to try it first. If
you purchase please let us know what you think of it. Or, for that
matter whatever you get let us know.
Thanks,
Randy

I have a Harbor Freight version and it works good up to .065 AL.
It is not quite 36 inches but it was only about $300 as I recall.
