[ML-General] Metal Sheet Break

[Stephan Henning]

1/8"? What material?

1/8" is relatively thick, I think 11 gauge? Grizzly's biggest machine
<http://www.grizzly.com/products/50-Deluxe-Pan-and-Box-Brake/T10718>only
goes to 16 gauge steel, which is 1/16".

Depending on what you want to do, you might be better off building a jig
and using a shop press
