Brake it 'til you make it!

What happens here

Begin by placing a piece of flat metal stock onto a portable metal brake. Using the integrated measuring guide and a utility knife, mark and score a line across the metal stock. This line indicates where the first bend will occur. Ensure the measurement is precise to fit the window opening.

Goal: This step involves accurately measuring the required length for the metal flashing and then scoring the metal stock to prepare it for bending on a metal brake.
