WILL IT BEND 5050 ALUMINUM (1/8, .125" THICK) X 6" WIDE PIECE?

No, I have bent some 1/8 by 1 pieces but even that wasn't very easy or very clean. I doubt it would ever bend a 6 inch wide piece properly.

You may be able to do it, but it is definitely not recommended. This Box and Pan brake is designed for 20ga steel (.036"). I have bent a 24" piece of .050" - 6061-T6 aluminum and was able to do it, but was really about the max that I could bend and it took a fair amount of effort to make that bend. I would not try to bend .125" aluminum which is more than twice what I bent. I think you might damage the brake.

In order to bend something 1/8" thick I'd have to adjust the cams so that the fingers could clamp tight at that thickness. That's something I don't want to do. Keep in mind that this brake is not designed to work on materials that thick. Shorter answer: It might. Mine is a great machine but you have to respect the design parameters.

Yes,This has a slight bending ability. But not enough to bend on a curve. Bending might break the seal inside. Contact the manufacturer for these type of questions.

Yes, it will. It is a strong piece. I adjust less and more than the measurements you mentioned. It takes a while to get used to. Try it in something else first.

It is a 90 degree bend. I have a case and they work fine together, but my case is not extremely thick.

I do not think that it will bend as much as you need. It is 8 inches deep and firm, so my personal guess is that it wold not work. It does have springs inside, so it is comfortable, but not very flexible

No, the stainless steel is a fairly heavy gauge and would require quite a bit of force to bend. Even the small funnel is quite strong.

maybe a little. it is aluminium. you couldn't bend it 90 deg. it would kink

Yes, you can bend it to a fairly tight radius, say 6" radius, maybe even tighter if you are careful.

Based on their shape, I don't think so. Mine mount flat, though. But, because they are not flat and have a small lip around the edge, I don't think you could get a good bend.

No it will not. As I stated in my review this is one useless piece of metal.

It should. It bends easy but hold form. We used it to make names to attach to hangers for my daughters wedding

Yes it will. Make sure that you set the tool to hammer only as oppose to rotations of any kind

In haven't tried more than one relatively sharp bend but you could ask them at Gardus. http://gardusinc.com/ you can call them or email them. Look under "contact us" in the black bar.

I have not tried to bend it that much. I would be afraid to deform the case. Im sure it would touch end to end though.

No, it will bend. The best I can describe it is like a yoga mat, if that helps

If you have a good bender it should do just fine I've had no problem with bending it and keep it bent. Added a bit of heat to the bend to keep it bent.

I measured from the bend to the bend and it was 1 7/8". It would probably fit.
