932m stand is built

I have a 48" Tennsmith finger brake. (Its not a cheap import, although I considered one) The chip tray in that picture is 16 ga, but my brake is rated for upto 12ga mild steel. Supposedly it will do that full width, but it would take two guys, and I would have to bolt it down. It weighs about 2000 lbs, but at a certain point leverage will overcome mass. I have done narrower pieces of 10ga. The key really is taking a few minutes to setup the brake for the material. Really I think this is about the limit of manual bending. I thought about a 72", but all the 72" brakes were rated for thinner material, and 72 isn't really enough length to justify going bigger. I'd need atleast 96", and then I'd be looking at hydraulic.

Hijack successful.
