Customer Reviews for Sheet Metal Brake Shear Press Brake 12-inch Precision for Shear Bending Rolling

Styrofoam packaged and survived the trip from China. Handle on the left (front) view. The right cam arm was missing the key (and lock screw) that connects the cam to the roller. I have a HF key set and used the grinder wheel to make one and stole one of the cam cover plate screws temporarily for the cam lock screw. Before this fix, the shear, break, and roller would all not work as expected. The shear is sharp, so don't play with the blade. The break pinch depth is adjustable and the set lock bolts also stabilize the frame. The end play for the removable roller needed shimmed with flat washers to keep the gears aligned to be able to roll steel. After shimming the roller, I had to loosen the break lock bolts to drop in the roller and then pull in both sides of the frame to eliminate left-to-right frame sway and then tighten up the break lock bolts to keep the roller gears aligned. I was able to roll 16 gauge steel. I haven't had the best of luck with the Vevor line, but this time with some setup adjustments I think the value was there for the money. Don't expect this to work perfect out of the box, you will have to tighten things up and setup baselines.

This is a great machine for light duty sheet metal fabrication. It does everything as advertised. The construction and fit is very good. You will not find a better machine for the money!

For the money it’s a really good buy. I was an am still very happy with it. It does however have a few drawbacks. 1. The plastic handles were broken before I even got it out of the box. I just turned a couple on my lathe as replacements. 2. There were absolutely no instructions at all. No assembly instructions, no parts list nothing. It was what you see is what you get. But once you figure it out it’s a pretty handy tool to have around.

fast shipping, good customer service, decent machine for the price.

Great for those little folding jobs when you're working with stuff over 1.5mm to give a nice finished edge. Easy enough to use and has a couple more features than I was expecting.

These machines are all made in China. I bought the 8” one that was sold by MicroMark in NJ.If you go to their website you can download the manual for the 8” machine that is the same machine, just smaller than this 12” machine.

Although my crate came pretty banged up there was no damage to the equipment. The unit is exactly what I was hoping for. The Shear/Brake portion is heavy duty and the shear is sharp! I love it!

All good except for one thing - the operating lever is to short
