[ML-General] Metal Sheet Break

[Daniel Valdez]

Russell Welding Company Inc
2050 Washington St NW, Huntsville, AL 35811

Has a metal break that will easily handle 1/8" (it's the size of a small car)

They are just around the corner from the shop and will probably charge you ~$5 to do as many breaks as you want. 

They will also take schematics and do it for you from stock metal of your choice. 

They are super awesome if you've never been in there. And they have like 30 shop cats.

I was going to get it and leave it at the shop but i dont see a lot of people doing that kind of metal work so I didn't want it to end up being a "yeah its on loan/I don't have anywhere to store it so lets put it here to collect dust". But if im wrong and there is a demand for it, I wouldn't be opposed to chipping in with all interested parties to get one for the shop. Just a thought.
