Sheet metal brakes are machines designed to make bending thin metal into shapes for use in projects such as house siding, eaves, air conditioning ductwork, and others. This project will help you build a simple sheet metal brake for bending small work for those who prefer to do it yourself. | Sheet metal brakes are machines designed to make bending thin metal into shapes for use in projects such as house siding, eaves, air conditioning ductwork, and others.

#Select materials that will be strong enough for your needs. {{convert|1/4|in|cm|adj=on|1|1}} steel plate with bracing will enable you to bend 14 gauge galvanized steel sheet metal in lengths up to about {{convert|3|ft|m|1}}, which is the size and specification for the project described in this article. Here are some materials used to build this particular brake. | #Select materials that will be strong enough for your needs. {{convert|1/4|in|cm|adj=on|1|1}} steel plate with bracing will enable you to bend 14 gauge galvanized steel sheet metal in lengths up to about {{convert|3|ft|m|1}}, which is the size and specification for the project described in this article.
