I have a project that I need to bend thin, 0.025, aluminum. Most pieces will just be a 90 degree bend, no problem there. The question I have is on the pieces that have a 45 degree bend - the 45 degrees is on the outside of the "V" shape - am I describing that right?

The pieces are 1.5" x 3", after the 90 bend they will be 1" x 3" - the one with the 45 is 2" x 3" and will be 1" x 3" after the 45 bend.

I was hoping to get by with an inexpensive brake but I don't know about the 45 degree bend. Is this something a cheap brake can do?

I don't have a way to include pics tonight but can tomorrow, if that would help.

Thanks,
Gary
