How to use a Metal Brake for Fascia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- In this video we'll teach you a step by step process for making aluminum facia trim on a metal brake. We'll start off by breaking down the coil stock and then show how we measure out the size we need on the blank. Next we'll move the blank into the metal brake and start bending the facia. We make a piece of fascia 6" tall with a 1" L bend and a 1" hem on the back of the piece. We show how we try not to flip or rotate the coil stock anymore than necessary and how we start with the coil stock blank all the way inside the metal brake and make bends as we pull material out.
Thanks for watching

This is hands down the best explanation on how to do this. I just bought a brake and I had no clue how to get started. Thank you!#!
Agreed he’s a talented tradesmen!
This is excellent! You are a fine teacher and obviously quite a craftsman! I will rent my brake and create my trim with great confidence! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your expertise. You are a good teacher. You explained what you were doing and why. I appreciate the emphasis on efficiency and minimizing handling. Thanks again.
This is by the far the best video on youtube for learning to bend metal.
You are a really good instructor sir.
I've never done this before. But with this guy's instructions I'm going in pretty confident that I'll get some trim made. This guy's awesome.
Hopefully your newbies can keep up with you. I have the luxury of watching the video over again, which I greatly appreciate. Thanks man.
Excellent recovery from your knife veering off the brake blade! I could hear the words going through your mind as it happened. :)
You make it nice and simple. Thanks for sharing some knowledge.
Excellent explanation and presentation, Aaron. Super organized and very easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this. You have a wonderful system. Although I am not in the building trades, I have about 35 years experience as a DIY homeowner and have done everything except install fascia trim and am about to do so on my garage which is why I am here. In my application, I figured out that 14" trim coil would work best. In my case, instead of cutting off the inch or so of excess that I don't need, I am choosing to hem that as well as the top edge. So I will have two hemmed edges and one 90 degree bend.
Super helpful. I couldn’t get fascia in the size I needed and had to buy a coil. I had no idea how to even cut it. Thanks for explaining!
What size was that.
@@KronicDaydreamZ I needed 2x8. My local building supply stores only sold 2x6.

Because of the easy way this guy describes using a break.
Looking forward to learning from the other videos on the channel .
I wish other managers I’ve had before became a carpenter were able to teach like this.
⭐️ Gold star for teaching
Thank you sooooo much, man. I have a good amount of coil stock work to do on my garage fascia and am completely new to the break. This was a huge help!
Watched the video a few weeks ago. Best part for me was the table set up. I'm a newbe homeowner having to replace all the metal trim on a 20 yr. old house I built. Unfortunately, my siding guy didn't know to warn me about al over treated wood. So it's rotted through. Thanks for the process video.
Very good demonstration! Thank you!
Great info om a jome owner diyer whos going to attempt this, thanks for taking the time to make this video
Thank you uploading this video. This is exactly what I need to be done for my house.
You don’t want that sharp edge on the bottom, you need a hem on that as well,,to give it strength.
@@denzilcooke2651 Correct, I never leave raw edge exposed.
This is so straight forward and simply explained right
Thank you for this excellent educational video. I learned a great deal. A great "fear breaker"! Carry On Sir!
Thank you so much, that’s is best informative way and detail of how to bend the fascia trim. I did one manually, just one 😅, and it did not look good. I will be renting the Metal Breaker so I don’t ruin all my trim sheets. Again thank you for showing us of “the how to do” or bend trims. Mike
I’m trying this today. I hope it’s as easy as you make it look.
Superlative instructions sir. Thank you!!
Thanks from Victoria BC Canada.
Great video.
Hey thanks. My work just got one of these and I'm starting my first siding job. This was really helpful. Simple and clear explanation with a well developed process that I can take with me.
I'll be doing this tomorrow morning. Gotta love technology. Thank you and thank RUclips
Thank you, this video is very clear and to the point 👍
Thanks a lot. This helps a lot. Got a piece that I have to replicate because the old fascia flew off my building. But I have access to a brake for 20 minutes at my friend's place. And you even showed me how to cut it too. I'm ready to do it now.
Great explanation-this really gives you a glimpse into how to think about the work process of planning a job to do it right without extra effort.
Nice explanation. Company owners are all about saving wasted moves.
Great video! Can't get over the Van Mark clamping the opposite direction though. Haha
Thanks for the video, very detailed! Love the fact that you have taken the time to share years of experience.
This was the best instructional video. I am making a small custom catch bassin for eavestroughs. This gave me enough insight to make it myself. Thanks
Excellent and to the point video. Thank you
Great instruction! Greatly Appreciated!
I'm late to the game, but terrific presentation! All the best!
Really nice video!!!
The video is fantastic. Very easy to understand, thank you...
Wow, good video, thanks for taking the time…
Excellent video! Very easy to understand from your explanations. Thanks for sharing with the community your process.
Dang I want to go to work for this guy! Awesome video
Thanks for taking the time to teach this!
You are an excellent teacher!
Awesome Video
Never seen black fascia trim before. Guess times are changing.
I'd also recommend hemming the bottom lip instead of the top
Great how to video. Thanks
i made a box that holds the coil. i pull it through my break and cut it with the cutter. great way to do it especially on site. may be a bit more efficient
I have a carpeted table directly across from the brake, about 4 feet apart so I can cut and lay out everything then spin around and feed it to the brake back and forth with no walking needed.
Nice work shed.
Nice job. I do it a tad different but yours looks great as well.
Efficiency. Love it. Do you ever hem the horizontal leg also?
Thanks fellow American 😊 Damn! Made this out to be hard 😆 have a blessed rest of your life.
Excellent tutorial, Thank you
Great teacher!
Outstanding video!!!!
Thank you!
Thank you, sir
Thank you so much. This is help a lots.
EXCELLENT!
great video, very informative.
Great video! Really easy to follow
Awesome job! 👍🏽
Great video!!!
Great video , thanks for your contribution.. Hem on top 1/2” , then 3/8” Hem on 1 inch lip that holds soffit adds time and work , but adds strength there as well ... .024 coil eliminates this need altogether
Regards
John
Where in the world do you get .024 trim coil?
What gauge coil are you using
Shouldn’t the L portion have a hem as well?
I’d love to give you a few lessons man.
You can tell when a person hasn't done 500,000 bends.
@@ajs96350 I’ve been using that machine for 30yrs. Don’t take it personally when a pro offers help. You can do 500k simple bends, not impressive. Can you do complex items tho. I also have a 12ft Tapco 19in depth. I didn’t mean to trigger you, I’m just better. I love your warehouse and setup it’s great. It’s also an .019 coil.
@@TheRonin248 I was agreeing with you, dingbat.
And hell yes I can do complex bends, been doing it for decades as well.
Looks like you were the one who got triggered.
And how in the hell could you possibly know you're better than me, I don't know if I'm better than you, I don't know you.
That's such an immature thing to say, you must be so much fun to work with.
I hate Tapco, my favorite brake was my JDan but Tapco bought them out and discontinued them so I have a special hate for that brand.
Very good love the shop one thing when I do when I’m bent pieces like that I usually put a circle around my checkpoint that circle tells my partner that’s our band and the checkpoint with no circle is there a cut but very good work by the way that’s a beautiful break
Thanks alot
This was a great video. So my question is what do you do when you have to bend around a fascia corner? Let's say you have a 10' piece and bend it at 5' at 90 degrees to wrap the corner of the house. Do you have a video for that? There as to be a slit at the 1" bottom edge to make the 90 degree bend. How much overlap do you allow for longer runs over 10'?
You can cut the bottom lip and use a hand brake to get a sharp bend, if the corner is level with the other corner, not a gable.
However, if the top has been hemmed, you can't get a good bend out of it, you will need to carefully cut that top hem at the bend to get a clean look.
I overlap about 2" on long runs, you don't want to go crazy with it.
When you are doing the level eaves and you come to a corner that goes up a gable, I cut the pc about 2" long, cut the bottom lip off at the corner and bend the rest around the corner then the gable pc slides over that. You won't need a corner pc if you do it that way, looks cleaner.
You will need hand benders though, to get a sharp bend.
I always hem both ends of my facia ,much better and stronger that way.
Great job man. Ty 👊
Nice shop! I’m jealous.
Thanks!
There should be 1/2 “ hem o the cut edge, on nthe bottom. Just a plain cut edge is to week, to screw, or nail.
MAN that looks easier to hem than my stainless
why no hem on the 90? I would have expected it there instead of the top.
It makes less waves on both, but if any, i agree with you. Not everyone can afford the profile wheel
For sure, the bottom is much to weak, and will probably have little bumps in it, where it is up against the soffit.
ive seen many people hem the 1 inch mark that covers the soffit instead of the top that slides behind drip
Can you show in another video how to hem the bottom portion as well?
You should check out our new Two-Way Cutting Tool we just launched for Tapco and Vanmark brakes!;)
Crazy I can do this in 30 seconds vs this way.
Thinking to get one ,but wondering if it would bend a 0.032 gauge. Stock
Innovatool has one that will bend 24ga steel, I'm about to buy it.
I do not like the Van Mark, I've had it for 8 years, it's does well enough, but it's not great.
My cut table would have adjustable caster wheels so I could roll stock to the break
.024 is actually pretty thick. Is flimsy because it's aluminum.
Hey! Nice work on the brake! Have you ever heard of some of our brake accessories?!
Excelente
How to make a box for a beam header ? Thank you.
I'm surprised you don't have a coil slitter.
Great ! But how do you bend. Inside corner ?
thanks u didnt skip anythang
I need a 1inx6inx10ft piece exactly the same piece you made in the video. Where can I buy it? Thank you.
How do you like that van mark brake?
Thank you for the great video. Question about what the Hem does, is it to help push the drip edge away from the facia? Water control?
That’s done to keep the piece from being wavy. As a stiffener
I would imagine it could only help in that regard. Aids in ease of handling during install.
Why didnt you hem the bottom as well? Im just curious as I bent metal and came across your vid, and happened to watch. Im 34, been at it for 14 years, and I bend a hem at the bottom of my fascia. I like a 1 1/4 bottom face wit a 3/4 hem, I also dont face nail my fascia, and I find it drastically reduces waves, so im just curious.
How do you attach if you don't nail? Thanks!!
@@pauljohnston2467 i nail thru the bottom, into the sofit, not thru the face into the fascia board
Is there a place that can do the bend for me? I’m struggling to find someone.
Ok great... But how do you (bend/shear/cut) the bottom of the gable end???
Fuking awesome
Nice video. Shouldn’t the 1 inch L bend have a hem too?
Maybe but if his job calls for 3 8inch pieces..why buy another roll of coil?
It sure as hell should.🐶
It sure as hell should, the bottom is much to weak. A half inch bend on top, and a half inch bend on the bottom inch part.
I moved from the west coast to the east coast recently and got a job working for a window and door company. Bending metal was new to me as they dont do that on the West Coast. I've learned how to do it and i absolutely hate it.. I think its a terrible idea and would never do it on my own house.
The only advice I would give on this video is while drawing your knife across the break stop before you get to the end and pull back so you don't run the knife off into the hinges like the guy in the video does that's the death of most brakes
My advice is get a slitter.
What would be the price on that 50ft coil in black like that today?
$150-ish
where does it reside
