Hi all.
I'm going to soon be working with some aluminium sheet in sizes 1.2mm - 1.6mm.
I'm going to be cutting 2000 x1000m sheets down into 550mm X 450mm so need a sheet cutter and then folding the smaller sheets into boxes that could be upto 70mm deep so a box pan brake would be most useful. Previously I've been using metal angle in a vice to bend the two unfolded sides as my current machine is a folder only. I don't really want to spend over £1000 for both items. £500 would be better and I know I'm going to struggle finding a machine that will fold boxes with a depth of 70mm so 35-40mm would be OK.
Any advise or suggestions appreciated. Thank you.
