I know this has probably has been asked a million times. I am new to the group. Does anyone know where I can get some plans for building a good brake capable of bending 11 ga mild steel 48 inches in length? Thanks. I hope you all don't mind if I join in?
Welcome to the group. Try using "google groups" and searching for Brake. Also take a look at the books Lincoln Foundation sells. Excellent books and there is a brake design in the third edition of the projects book. And search for the metalworking dropbox. Surely there is a Brake design in there.
