Prepare and Position Metal for First Bend

What happens here

Begin by taking a piece of sheet metal, intended for use as a soffit cover. Carefully slide this metal into the metal brake, ensuring that the edge to be bent is positioned squarely and flush against the back stop of the brake. This precise alignment is crucial for achieving a clean and accurate bend. Once positioned, firmly clamp the metal in place using the brake's clamping mechanism to prevent any movement during the bending process. The goal is to set up for a single, straight bend.

Goal: The first step involves preparing the metal sheet and precisely positioning it within the metal brake for the initial bend. Ensure the sheet is flush against the back stop for an accurate bend.
