I needed a heavy duty sheet metal brake to bend the 1/8" (3mm) thick aluminum that I chose for the crosskart body panels, so I made one with scrap steel angle and tubing, lawnmower seat springs and threaded rod. It's a common DIY design, but I beefed it up for my needs. So far I've bent 1/8" thick aluminum @ 24 (610mm) wide successfully. No signs of stress on the brake, but it took some muscle to do. I'm sure it can bend a 36" (914mm) wide sheet with hydraulics or handle extensions for more leverage. I'm going to have to build a proper steel table to mount it to first, otherwise I'll probably rip the end off the wooden table that it's mounted to now.
