Hi Ted,

I also have limited space in my basement shop and use a triple machine. The one major thing I don't like is in the brake function. It's not the standard function/operation like a purpose built unit and so it's difficult to use for exact bends. On this unit you slide the sheet between 2 v dies and squeeze. You also have little control over the bend radius beyond adding a couple pieces of shim stock in there on the inside - and then you quickly reach the machines max bend capability. It's fine for basic/general work.

Jim
