Bending 10 ft long pieces of 22G steel SOLO on the Heavy Duty Innovatools Modular Bending Brake!
I finally got around to shooting video bending 24G steel as per the maximum suggested rating of our Innovatools modular HD bending brake. As always i wanted to push the limits and also took the opportunity to try out 22G steel! This was hard and impractical but the brake held up just fine and i have no concern for the brake on this thicker material but I would recommend having it bolted down firmly and having 2 operators operating it to make it less hard on the operator.
That being said, the 24G steel, although requiring a little elbow grease is very manageable! We will be keeping the rating of our HD model at 24G steel from a practicality stand point but you now see what the Innovatools Brake can achieve ;)
We ship all over the world daily directly from our factory.

      good morning John, each brand of brake will have its own specific roller/bearing configuration but when you decide to get our bending brake simply let us know and we'll send you the replacement sides to allow you to convert the roller/bearing configuration so that it works with your new Innovatools modular brake, we can supply the necessary part with your new brake order. let us know if you have any other question thanks!

    Hey Alex, Bryan Flemming in southern mn. I bought a brake from you and its an amazing tool. Your roof looks great! I myself also hate having exposed fasteners. Since we use steel trim coil for all our wraps i have found that small yet very strong magnets are great while my caulking sets up. I know most guys use aluminum but if you are ever triming something in steel and cant get a miter to lay right or just need something to stay until the caulk sets up. Magnets are a great trick to have in your back pocket to make things lay perfect.

    • @innovatoolsinc

      the main thing would be; much easier assembly (basically one model of connector and 1 model of bolt throughout), we were also able to make it a little more compact (1'' lower on the height and 1.5'' narrower on the depth for the same capacity). We also modified the back rail and front rail to be able to rest it on saw horses easier. Same great features just some slight improvements because of our new manufacturing equipment we had to redesign some of the parts so decided to simplify a little bit of everything!

      @@aluminumtrim thanks, with the 24" depth you just feed the sheet in and pull to your measurement you need and start bending right away to be honest in my opinion.... the pro 14 wont give you a full flat surface i dont think unless im missing something? Before the measuring guages and when i was premarking i would simply set the sheet in the hinge pocket and rest it against the closing handle that way the sheet was about 45deg angle making it much easier to mark in my opinion as opposed to leaning over a flat piece no?

      It’s easy to flip my metal to the top of my brake to make a quick mark as the crank handle will lay flat back. A mark my metal on top of my brake all the time…. Just not a habit that will be broken after 25 years. As well as many old timers in the business. It’s same review im getting showing some others around the company here.

      @@aluminumtrim every habit can be broken if a better option is found ;) i personally use to have it standing on a 45deg laying in the lip resting on the top handle on my tapco brakes when i first started operating brakes already 22 years ago now :s time flies! I dont premark my coil stock anymore but laying it on 45 to premark on our brake is even easier with the handle running across the whole length of the brake giving a flat surface

    Just a piece of friendly advice. Don't ever run your knife all the way through the length of the piece you are bending when cutting off to finish. Those blade slices/cuts in the actual brake parts will get you fired, cost you quite a bit to repair, or will scratch the material. Not very smart for any of those things to happen. Your bottom dollar, and quality of work/pride, will definitely suffer. And definitely not efficient by any means. Completely opposite of being efficient if you're damaging equipment and/or product being installed. Well over 10 yrs. as the ground man/sole metal brake man.

      Good morning Kevin! Thank you for your comment, i would beg to differ; if you take the time to swap your knife around at every cut to prevent cutting past the material you're adding 3 secs to every cut. If you're making on average 150 cuts per day that 450sec(7.5mins) per day that is spent swapping your knife around. This equals to 37.5mins a week or 1875mins (31hours) per year. It would take me roughly 4 to 5 years to chew through a hinge but in that time frame i would have saved over 120-150hours which increased my production by 120-150hours. It was much more productive/efficient/profitable to wear out a brake and make an extra 120hours of installation and every 4-5years id buy myself a brand new brake as well, (or just change the hinge for 1000$ depending on the rest of the brake). The beauty with our innovatools brake is that the hinge design has clearance past the stainless edge so you wont damage the hinge dragging it across unlike on other brands 😉
