I’m a red seal welder from Ontario Canada Stu. Love your channel and I think your cool tool segments are awesome. You have built yourself quite a nice shop and it’s so cool to watch it grow with your business! Thanks for sharing
@@chriscrowder7833 Thanks brother, I appreciate that. Glad to have a Friend watching from Canada. I appreciate the positive feedback and Thank you for watching! 🇺🇸🤜🏼🤛🏼🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing your experience! You’re definitely a top notch shop. Glad to see you share another video. Love the content. And “freedom fan campground”that’s great! Haha
Congrats on the new brake. We picked up a big Cincinnati beginning of the year and what a great addition for the shop. No subbing bending out anymore and can design many more parts and pieces to be bent rather than welded. You won’t know how you went this long without it lol
@@akraix182 So very true. It’s such a game changer! If I knew what I was missing before, I probably would’ve sold a kidney to get one! Lol. Thanks for watching!
Awesome addition! That machine will open up a whole bunch of work for you. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming, look forward to watching your next project that involves the brake. Cheers from another fellow welder from B.C. Canada 🤘😎
@@RHarris42 Thank you, The more I learn about how to operate the machine, the more I am blown away with what it can do. Thank you for watching, and I feel lucky to have at least 2 Canadian friends watching the channel!
@@Freedomfabrication777 it's going to save you so much time for sure! About 10 years ago I worked for an outfit that bought a huge brake that had a similar program, I wish I could remember how many ton it was for it. Needless to say at that time we were braking full 5' x 10' x 1/4" with ease and able to do 4'x8'x 1/2" to at best 88° bends (which is close enough for maximum 2" flange! Lol) making cross members for what ever frame work we needed. Definitely impressive to say the least. Again thank you for sharing.
Glad it finally came! Been enjoying your videos. I’ve wanting to send you one of those Pneumatic Chamfer tools.Yeah they are Chineseium but I use them quite a bit especially the one mounted to a Swag Off-road Table. Anyway if you email me an address I’ll make it happen.
@@davidhoffman8072 Thanks brother, I’m pretty excited. Having professional equipment makes a huge difference. I would love to try one of those chamfer tools! I’ll have to do a SCT segment on it. Thank you! Can you get ahold of me on Instagram?
Nice new machine brotha, glad to see you growing and getting some good projects. I think my good buddy Mikey from mikes metal works is going to reach out to you. He lives very close to you. It would be good to see you guys collaborate together.
Sweet brake! I actually considered that exact setup. Little outta my price range at the moment. But if the works keeps coming in I’ll be ordering one. How many jobs/parts can you store in the controller?
@@thedude6650 You can save 50 bends on the unit, and as many as you want on a jump drive. I think you would love it if you decide to pull the trigger. It’s one of the very few on the market with the big bend capability and small foot print. Thanks for watching!
@@hugolafhugolaf Thank you, it’s one of the scary parts about owning a business. It is also one of the necessary parts to making money and being successful. Thanks for watching!
@@Freedomfabrication777 Same in the service business. Gotta hire pricier staff, buy better equipment, all in the name of providing a better service to the client. Paying through the nose for firewalls and IT safeties is insulting, but if our data gets hijacked, we're worth nothing... So at the end of the day, we do what we gotta do. Hopefully you recoup that investment fast! Best of luck (even though it's not luck, it's hard work, but you get my drift).
Fantastic addition to your arsenal! You don’t mention it and it’s none of our business but, I would like to applaud your wife’s apparent ability to trust your decisions to reinvest in your business. That brake, along with everything else in your shop is no small investment and a man and wife pulling together towards a common goal is a huge asset to success that needs to be acknowledged. As for not having time to video everything when you’re busy, I don’t know how you have time to video anything and I appreciate the content that you do take time to put out.
@@williamthomas9463 You couldn’t be more correct! Every once in a while someone asks me what advice I have for a young person starting out that wants to start their own business. One of the first things I tell them is be very careful and smart about who you Marry. It is absolutely necessary to have a spouse that supports your goals and ambitions, and believes in you. If you don’t have that, you won’t make it very far. Starting a business isn’t easy, especially with a family, but you have to be with someone who has a certain level of willingness to take some risk. As you can see, I married an amazing woman, who supports me in my wild business endeavors, and is a nurturer to me and my children. This is getting extremely rare to find in my opinion. You bring up a very good point, and I will be sure to mention this again in a future video. Thanks for the input and thank you for watching!
@@Freedomfabrication777 You’re welcome. I’m saying this as someone who didn’t have my wife’s support 23 years ago. I do, however, have it now but it was an uphill battle for many years as she didn’t come from a self employed background and had no tolerance for risk. Be blessed.
@@williamthomas9463 I can see how that would be hard having a background with no self employment exposure. Glad to hear you have it now. I have been married long enough to know that marriage is one of those things that also requires work and dedication to make it healthy and successful. Glad to hear you’ve pushed through. God bless you and your family.
As much as I love old junk nothing beats quality new shit

Does it automatically set the k factor for bending?
@@truethinker68 Yes, it calculates the K-factor based on the information you put into the program. Thanks for watching!

@@McNeillWelding Lol. That’s probably accurate. #FFV Thanks for watching!
Nice addition and investment in the shop. Glad things are working out for you.

Whats the machine footprint? With the cnc back gauge.
