Bend Aluminum on Metal Brake

What happens here

After cutting, take each piece of aluminum and place it onto a metal brake, which is a specialized tool designed to bend sheet metal. Carefully align the aluminum sheet so that the desired bend line matches the clamping edge of the brake. Securely clamp the material in place. Then, using the handle of the metal brake, smoothly and evenly raise the bending leaf to create the desired angle and profile, typically a 90-degree bend or a series of bends to form a 'J-channel' or 'U-channel'. The video shows the creation of an L-shaped piece, then a second bend to create a channel profile. Ensure each bend is crisp and accurate to fit snugly around the garage door frame.

Goal: Form aluminum pieces into specific trim profiles.
