Man, it's such a pleasure to watch and learn from an efficient craftsman. Thank you.
well thank you for the comment! you're putting me on a very high pedestal hehe, i'll be honest the reverse bend trick i was thought by a client putting me on the spot but the wood trick i came up with it hehe. Gotta learn everyday!
I had to watch it twice
@@innovatoolsinc Hey I just noticed we are neighbors, Hello from Metcalfe.
@@riggsron come visit us at our factory some day!:)
Those are the slickest tricks to know. Thanks for sharing
my pleasure! thanks for the feedback!: )
Nice! Fantastic trick, the wood spacer for the 3/8 or 1/2 J channel works great on my old Tapco, very replicable
Thanks for your feedback! Indeed it is sometimes the simple things that give the best results!
damn I'm so used to .060" aluminum and .020" stainless... those bends look so easy!
Wow! That’s actually pretty amazing!
The wood bit is a good idea. I always struggled getting small bends like that.
Its the simple things that usually work best 👌
Good stuff. I have also used scrap aluminum under the metal i need the narrow bend on. So the hinge has something to contact, and bends the piece i need bent
I want that slitter, my Vanmark slitter is losing it and that looks like a huge time saver.
good morning! it is available directly on our website at www.innovatools.ca let us know if you have any questions!
@@innovatoolsinc Yeah, I went to buy it this morning and my card was shut down by my bank, what time do you open?
@@ajs96350 My cellphone number is on the website (613-978-2637) im almost recheable all the time;)
How consistent can you make that J-channel using the wood? It looks great for a one-off, but I don't know about making lots of it unless there was a really good reason.
Super consistant with the wood piece as it acts as a stopper... if you but against the wood accurately you'll be bang on everytime. The wood prevents any slippage and guarantee accuracy/consistency which you wouldnt have the guarantee of no slippage any other way....
I bought a stortz perfect bender and it can pretty much bend anything a standard brake cannot.
Hi Martin, I don't think you'd be able to bend a 3/8'' ''tall'' J-trim with the Stortz Perfect bender unless i'm missing something? it's also much more time consuming to roll the full length than bending on a brake if you can get the full length to fit your brake!
Perfect bender can make a standing seam panel easily.
@@martinsanders4087 yes i have one as well but not sure i can do a 3/8" tall J-trim with it? :s theres not enough clearance between the nailing flange and the top flange side
@@martinsanders4087 Can you make the female leg of the standing seam panel 1" height 1/2" top & 1/2" folding leg? and it'll work with standard stainless slider clips?
I tried to build my own version of the Perfect Bender but I was having a lot of trouble keeping the rollers perfectly placed on my .060" 3003h14 aluminum coil
Link to cutting tool please
Good morning Brian, directly on our website; www.innovatools.ca
you can bend a cheater from coil... no need for wood
For sure! But there's no waste with the piece of wood and if you want to reduce it down to 3/8" for example you'll need 8+ layers of aluminum!
