Brake set up looks great never used a coil stock feeder or cutter. Definitely makes things more efficient. After watching this video I want to replace my 20 year old break. Great video 👍

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Thanks! I replaced an old 8’ windy. This one is much more efficient lol

Hey Jack. Love the sidewinder accessory. So much better than the floor !

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Side wonder is a huge win on the brake!

[@AdamWeil]

I worked with a guy who used a break now and then, but he never really showed me how it work. Thanks for the video. The sidewinder is nice

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

The sidewinder makes the brake much more efficient. Glad I added it to the purchase.

We cleated a couple 1x6 together to lay across the brake C’s for a deck for the stock your working. I like combination squares for repetitive short dimension marking. Small notched and bent scraps of coil stock can also make repetitive marking gauges. You don’t actually have to make a mark if you use the gauge to set the reveals in the brake.

No you didn’t bro I did

I need to get one of those pro cut off tools... after one day using my tapco im seeing the immediate need! cool video!

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

The cut off tool makes everything so easy. Wouldn’t trade it for the world. Especially when doing a lot of work.

Check out our new Two-Way cutting tool for tapco and vanmark brakes;)

Thank you for showing that I needed to pull up on hinge to hem , couldn’t figure out why my hems suck . I always had to smash down with the break .

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

It’s a neat little trick to make them tight. I forget where I learned it but I’m glad I was able to pass it on to you.

[@brandonmccurry3810]

That's such an inefficient way to bend that. Don't take the metal out of the brake after the 150 degree bend. Continue on with the 90 degree bend then take out finish hem bam avoids all your concerns and better faster product.

[@memonavaramirez6261]

Awesome, thanks for the informative video. My best regards.

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Of course!

[@nicolasgoupil6505]

Hi there great tips in the video. Any tips on cutting lenghts with the cut off tool on the sidewinder? Most of the time I get weird cut on the left side of the sidewinder. Thanks for the video!

[@RenovationsandRepair]

Kickass intro bro

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Just trying to keep stepping up the content!

[@PattyIc3]

Intro looks good 👀

[@russalbright4213]

Always wanted a break like that. Just never used one enough to justify the cost. I'll bet it is a heavy brute though!

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

For us it’s just another necessity on large remodels. I enjoy it but it’s not used every day.

[@Warren3carpentry]

Whenever I have tried using coil stock for fascia it oil cans. We only use coil for 4 inch flats and shorter. Other wise we use the thicker aluminum heavy grain fascia. Have you had any problems with oil canning?

[@yummy678ify]

Try using less fasteners

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

So far so good. In this house in particular it’ll have a gutter on 90% of the fascia.

[@jamiegarrett2939]

Try putting a hem in it and it will add rigidity to it to stop the oil canning so much

[@JDBeastmode]

Can you set the coil up to feed painted side down?

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Yes. The coil can be loaded to feed either side up. It all depends on which way you load the oil onto the rollers.

[@Printworxapparel]

Fancy

Si muchacho

[@danlabbe5870]

Must be in Chicago land with the emt electrical.

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Nope. This was in Beloit, Wi. North of Rockford. The original owner who built the house was an electrician. There was some really goofy stuff in the house. All the switches were low voltage that flipped relays that sent power to the fixtures. Something I’ve never seen in residential construction.

[@PattyIc3]

not first. Will try again next video

Lol
