brake/shear
(OP)
My company is in search for a new brake and shear. We need to shear 11ga. SS by approximately 5 in. wide, and also looking to bend 3mm SS and also be capable of bending 0 ga. mild steel. We mainly do piece work for custom machine modifications. However price is an issue. What would work best and what size shear would I need. Also what type of brake would work best a new box brake or a mech. or hydraulic. Thank you in advance for any response to this post.






RE: brake/shear
The only good I can do for you is on the price issue. I bought a large hyd shop press from www.rkmachinery.ca in Canada and nobody came close on the price; and I shook the trees for months; due to a un-realistic budget constraint. It was well built, probably lower quality than say a Drake. RK sells brakes, shears, presses, punches.
Only one issue, didn't come wired for plugging into the wall, so we had to install cut-off, fuses, and cord. You can order it turn-key, just cost more.
Other than that, see if one of those multi-taskers lets you eliminate a machine; like a pirahna metalworker.
