Mr. Brown, I thank you tons for such a simple class. I loved it. I'm trying to model a simple "cross break" in Autodesk inventor and that's how I got to watch your video. Thanks again Sir.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm from Cali and moved to NY. I was never taught how to do sheet metal as I was hired for a lead install role right away. Taught myself a lot but was never informed that I needed a break in my sheetmetal and that apparently I was getting a lot of call backs for noise. Now thats fixed. Oh and I never put heat pumps far enough off the ground and I would drain 90 percent furnaces outside if they had a condensate pump. All three of my callbacks are now taken care of. You just don't think of certain things being a problem until you experience the climate.
The spline tool (used for screening bead) on a piece of wood with two C-clamps will do a nice job if you don't have the strength. No need for safety squints but use gloves to avoid the sharp edges. What a great tip by the way !
That was beautiful. I've also never seen a RUclips video almost 7 years old without a single dislike, this is one for the books!

Short and to the point. Awesome!

Are you referring to those "pizza cutter" style roller tool?
@@deviouslick5097 yes
Henslers Benders are a must!
Oh, thanks!!!
Great tip!
I'm working with 26 gauge sheet metal and was not sure if your method would work. It worked like a champ. You've saved my day !
Guy, this saved me. Thanks for a great field technique!
Looks good! Thanks
Saved me from picking up the brake from the shop. Need to make some dampers in the field
Your outlet in the background is loaded to the max!
awesome explanation! thanks so much for this video
Awesome!
Thank you sir 🫡
what I was looking for awesome tip!!!
What do i do for a crossbreak on 16ga? For the sides of truck tool boxes, no brake available
Snap a line with a chalk box, lay panel on a 2x4 or 2x6. Score the metal with a wide chisel like used in carpet installs.
THANK YOU
Cool 👍
Yeah. This is a good technique for 26ga or 24ga but 22ga and heavier not so much.
crazy
How the hell lmao I'm definitely trying this on the next change out.
Do this on the floor while standing on the s cleat so it won’t slide
Thanks i also use a old wooden handle screen roller.
Awesome 👏🏻 thank you
Never tried that, will do in the future, great tip
Can I use this technique to 90° break thin galvanized sheet metal?
If your 90 is gona be a 1” Bend account for that then fold your 90 with your 1” break
Is it ok to use this method to cross-break a section of ductwork that is already installed?
I think he cross break the inside of the duct work. So post installed would give it a concaved effect
Great tip Guy.
Thanks
Would this work on 24 gauge? I’m building a 29” tall plenum.
Did it work on the 24 gauge?
@@weldscholars8253 yes it did.
👍👍
