So that 16 gauge capacity is a bit of a understatement. Pretty impressive. So .120" has to be about the limit??? I'm pretty sure I need one of those but I need a bead roller worse. Your going to have to hook me up on that Shane. Awesome piece of machinery ya got there.

The machine is rated for 16 gauge full width, but we have plenty of guys pushing that spec.....as you can see.
I've been enjoying mine. Rebuilt part of my floors and am now building the core support from scratch with a sheet of 16ga steel.
It does bend 16 gauge full width no problem as long as there is enough engagement.
I've found on pieces you want a strengthening lip that are too narrow for the top die, you need to engage the edge by at least .400 or so or it wants to lift the die.
