For a quick demo of the brake I will include a series of pictures of a handle that I use on equipment at my work. This handle design is the reason for building the machine at my work.

These next two are a peice of 3" flat bar. With my current length of handles for me the machine bends 4" flatbar. To go beyond this I need to use some cheaters on the handles. Very seldom do I use this machine for any thing over 3" wide. If your wanting to use this for the occasional peice of 6" most definately add the gussets between the pivot point bracket and the peice that I weld on to have a surface for clamping to a table.MigMaster 250- Smooth arc with a good touch of softness to it.

Dan, how thick is the 3" piece? It looks like 3/16". You have designed an impressive little brake. Thanks for all the information and pictures.

The side of the angle closest to the bend provides stiffness to keep the edge from deflecting upward. If you look at the expensive commercial brakes,you will often see 1/2" thick plate several inches wide at a 45 degree angle to the bed, and sometimes a tensioning device which provides more resistance to deflection.
