Here are some safety instructions for the {{PAGENAME}}. Remember... SAFETY FIRST!!!
 +
* Always make sure your hands are out of the way of the fingers and all moving parts
 +
* Be aware of your surroundings to ensure that you do not bump others with the counterweight.
 +
* If bending a small piece of metal, place it in the center of the brake.
 +
* Do not attempt to bend material thicker than 16 gauge.
 +
* Only use sheet metal with the brake. Don't try to bend round material!
 +
* You may not use the sheet metal machines without safety glasses!! (Should be obvious if you are following the rules of the shop)

==Description==
 +
 
 +
A bending brake is a metalworking machine that allows the bending of sheet metal. The brake is a Chicago W31 steel box and pan brake.  The max material thickness capacity of this machine is 16 gauge mild steel.  In a box-and-pan brake (also known as a finger brake), the clamping bar includes several removable blocks, which may be removed and rearranged to permit bending of restricted areas of a piece of sheet metal or of already partially formed pieces. After bending, a box or pan form is then completed by screw, solder, weld, rivet, or other metal fixing process.

====Demonstration====
 +
 +
To demonstrate competency on the Bending brake you will be required to bend a piece of sheet metal to a 90 degree angle.
 +
 +
====General Procedure====
   −
== Training ==
   
=== Bending Steps ===
 
=== Bending Steps ===
#Ensure that your sheet metal is thinner or equivalent to 14 gauge sheet metal, and ensure that it is less than 48" in width.
+
#Ensure that your sheet metal is thinner or equivalent to 16-gauge sheet metal, and ensure that it is less than 48" in width.
 +
#If making a bend for a box or a pan, adjust the fingers so that the equivalent width of the fingers is just shorter than your sheet metal.
 +
#Adjust the clamping force and the clamping handle to allow room to insert your work piece.
 +
#Insert your work piece to the line you want to bend, centered in the brake, and clamp your piece securely.
 +
#Pull up on the bending handle of the leaf slowly until your piece is bent to the desired angle, and slowly lower the leaf.
 +
#If the piece does not bend straight, unclamp the handle on the over-bent side and adjust the top leaf.
 +
#Adjust the clamp handle, and remove your piece.
 +
#Put back any fingers if adjusted, and deburr if any rough edges are left.

#If making a bend for a box or a pan, adjust the fingers so that the equivalent width of the fingers is just shorter than your sheet metal.

Here is how you can reset the space for the {{PAGENAME}}. Remember to leave the space better than you found it!!!
 +
* If you removed or adjusted any fingers, put them back where they belong.
 +
* Reset all materials, scrap pieces go in the scrap bin.
 +
* Ensure that the Brake and surrounding area are clean.
 +
* Return any borrowed gloves or other equipment to their proper storage locations.
