nice one, Yeah i have used it to bend some 1.5mm sheet metal which is actually beyond the limit fo the specs. At the time i thought it was struggling a little to be fair but it got it done, then checked the specs and respected that i was asking more than i should out of it. i was only bending smallish brackets with it so kept them close to the bolt end and it got it done OK.
I then used it to bend some 3mm Ally plate and it did this pretty easy. For what i want it will well and truly get it done for me. The 3in 1 machine i was looking at had removable sections of blade that allowed for smaller box folding but only went to 90 degrees. THis absolutely bends to 120 which is a winner for me.
I agree, $180 is a good buy.
