It takes alot more strength and effort to bend metal when its 10 feet long. They made it look easy with that small piece.😂
lol right? Bend me a 10' stick of .24 ga and show that it's straight and I'm sold.
That’s exactly what I was thinking when I saw that little piece
This coming Wednesday I've got a video where we bend 10' pieces of 24-gauge. We have two people on the brake because it absolutely does take more effort! But, I'd rather have two guys making a couple pieces of flashing onsite than my whole crew waiting around for someone to run back to the shop to bend some extra trim. -Thad
@@TheMetalRoofingChannel I'll keep an eye out for it, I have an older van mark and tapco and have always just used them for small detail work until I got a schectl ukv.
Makes sense! It's a right tool for the right job situation. -Thad
Try hemming a full size piece… That brake is garbage. The last van mark I will ever buy. Bought a brand new metal master 14’6. Notice how he says pre load the hinge to hem? Try hemming a full size piece. Damn near impossible. Called van mark and they directed me to a pdf that says “slightly lift piece up before hemming”. In short, its a design flaw. And if you have a full size sheet, hemming will take multiple attempts of “preloading the hinge”. Other brakes hem without effort. This one, you need all 8 planets to align with the sun to get it to hem. Van mark lost a customer for life after I disposed of my brand new metal master that was only used on one job for half the price I bought it for.
What brand do you have now that makes the hem without so many attempts?
