The brake in the shop is a Chicago W31 steel box and pan brake. 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.

== Training
#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 slowly until your piece is bent to the desired angle, and slowly lower the leaf.
 
#Adjust the clamp handle, and remove your piece.
 
#Put back any fingers if adjusted, and deburr if any rough edges are left.
 
== Safety ==
 
#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. (If you don't it can damage the machine)
 
#You may not use the sheet metal machines without safety glasses!! (Should be obvious if you are following the rules of the shop)

A horizontal band saw is a type of band saw where the piece stays stationary and the cutting head is a band saw arranged horizontally that cuts into the part by gravity assist. Our horizontal bandsaw in the shop is the Ellis Model 1600. It can be used to rough cut metal or plastic (NO WOOD) stock to length. It has a cutting capacity of 10" Round and 10" by 8" rectangle at 90 degrees or 6-7/8" round and 8" by 6" rectangle when rotated to 45 degrees.

The current Ace of this machine is Nathan Hayward (nhayward21@georgefox.edu, ?) ().
