I wish I had a box pan brake. I just had the store cut the pieces. I did all the bending and I found it went pretty quickly.

We also use a PA 40 inch 3 in 1 press-shear-roller.....
Although rated at 20 gauge we have managed 18 and 16 in shorter pieces sometimes we resort to heating up the sheet metal and rushing to the brake to make the bend...... with further light tweaking on the edge of the 5/8 work tableslight.
I have read ......BUT not tried yet..... that a few strips of thin fine grit sand paper between the flat locking jaws of the brake would keep the thicker sheet metal from creaping forward when bending. My wish would be for a 12 gauge pan box in 80 inches ........ hard to justify for just one cargo box.... Cheers
