Look at this madman go.. there's no stopping him.
Truly sick stuff, man. Those unibit cuts on the aluminum look beautiful. And the acrylic work, as always, is great. Radiator mount also turned out well.. I like how it appears to be floating (oh geez don't give me any more ideas if I ever want to complete my build..)
This project is filled to the brim with originality.
You had mentioned before that you were looking for a brake but they were too expensive. If you try to get one that shears or rolls, then you'll pay an arm and a leg for it. If you just want one for bends, like what I have, then I picked mine up on eBay for 70$. Compared to that router table of yours, it's like tossing a few coins down a well.
I believe that it's good for up to 15 gauge steel and 18 gauge aluminum. And they make beefier ones for just a hair more in price (around 90-100$.) Not sure of the thickness that you are working with, but I fab on relatively thin metal--around 1/16" since I like to keep my cases light--which this brake handles great. 1/8" it struggles with some. But it may be different if it was bolted down to a heavy bench as I just have it clamped to a workmate with some steel C clamps.
