Any pointers to info on building a sheet metal brake?  I need to
make 10' lengths of angle aluminum, 1"x1"x.063" out of 2024 t3 aluminum,
radius of .250".  The results have to be of fairly high quality, ie no
tooling marks, gouges, etc, so a siding brake just won't do.

    BTW, consider this a plug for MSC (800 645 7270), regarding the
McC catalog debate.  Called MSC late Monday for a catalog, had it
Wednesday morning, all 3,356 pages worth.  I *will* be ordering
*something* from them, out of guilt if nothing else.

thanks,
