Ya I made a break that fit in my hydraulic press. It worked great till we put in some "thicker" 1/4" stuff that bent it up pretty good.LOL <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />

I plan to build another one here when I get some free time. Another way to do a bend like that is to score the one side with an angle grinder and bend it and then weld in the area you ground away with the cut off wheel. I usually clamp a straight piece of angle iron and use that for the guide so I keep straight.
