Got this little beauty from Mrs. Z for Christmas, just got it unboxed today.
Combo roll, break, shear. I have lots to learn, but hopefully by next Christmas I can be pulling some nice looking homemade cars around the tree!
Now that will be a fun toy!!!!!!!! How thick can it bend? I have a cheapo Harbor Freight 18" one and you have to put C clamps on it just to bend .015" Brass lol

Its meant for 20 gauge, which is thick enough. I will have a ton of learning to do. It took a little adjusting out of the box to get the shear lined up and the guide square to the shear edge. It seriously needs bolted to a workbench, which will have to wait for now. The only real concern is that its built to handle 8" wide material, which is a little short for most o gauge projects. That being said, its really cool. I tried it on a piece of extra stock I had and am very pleased. This should make for some fun projects.
