Beadroller Build (Turned into sheetmetal work thread)

[Deuling]

What did you hear bad about the magnetic brake? That thing sure looked awesome.

Copied from the instagram...

• selfmade__Brandon Steel it works great. Smal parts it works great, big pieces like fuel cells and bomber seats it works ok, but when you get into detail bends with aluminum it fails on 16 ga. But overall it still does what other brakes can't @adeuling

• selfmade__brandon My magnet has also broke in 4 spots from the magnet slipping off aluminum.

You'd rather have another roller than a brake? What about 3D wonderfulness?

Brett has a Malco brake from when they used to make ductwork fittings for HVAC, that works if I need to make something.

Its just kind of a pain, and you basically need to eyeball everything. But If I need to I can...

They hooked up our Baleigh roller today. I had to leave early today, so I'll play with it tomorrow.

Been there, done that, so I understand. I guess it's more like "been there, NOT done that" when it comes to cameras.

These took like 2 hours to peel... Every panel will get one from now on..

I bet, I would loose my mind. I can't focus long enough to barley get this response written.

Ill say none of this is terribly that hard in my opinion. Maybe that's biased after a couple hundred hours of practice... But what it is, is REALLY TIME CONSUMING, and slow...

would a powered one significantly improve the speed you could get these done?
