??? about a sheet metal brake. who's got one?

ive got a 4 ft box/pan brake, but i dont have the counter weights to help with the bending.

my question is: how much do those weights usually weigh??

i can make my own, or if someone knows where to get them..maybe id buy them.

thanks.

 

Ones I've seen are at least 5 lbs each.Probably closer to 10.

 

The one on my brake is a cast iron slug about 8 inches long and around 3-4 inches in diameter. It's mounted at the end of a 2 foot bar. You could probably accomplish a similar effect by slipping a longer piece of pipe over the grab bar on the bottom to give you a little more leverage.
