Sheet Metal Equipment

We are thinking about upgrading/adding some sheet metal equipment. We'd like to find a decent auto shear and auto brake. Looking at RAS and Schechtl but would be open to other options.

Any recommendations or personal experience with any of these machi>>>

One of my buddies has a schechtl and has had it for about 9 years now. They work the heck out of it and it seems to do just fine. They got a shear with it too, as you almost have to have both. Very nice equipment!>>>

A lot of the stuff at Harbor Freight is junk, but it's cheap junk. I saw this bargain and will probably get me one. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=91012>>>

That works out to $1.87 a pound for that break. It might work!>>>
