In this video we'll teach you a step by step process for making aluminum facia trim on a metal brake. We'll start off by breaking down the coil stock and then show how we measure out the size we need on the blank. Next we'll move the blank into the metal brake and start bending the facia. We make a piece of fascia 6" tall with a 1" L bend and a 1" hem on the back of the piece. We show how we try not to flip or rotate the coil stock anymore than necessary and how we start with the coil stock blank all the way inside the metal brake and make bends as we pull material out.

Thanks for watching

This is hands down the best explanation on how to do this. I just bought a brake and I had no clue how to get started. Thank you!#!

This is by the far the best video on youtube for learning to bend metal.

I've never done this before. But with this guy's instructions I'm going in pretty confident that I'll get some trim made. This guy's awesome.

Great explanation-this really gives you a glimpse into how to think about the work process of planning a job to do it right without extra effort.

Hopefully your newbies can keep up with you. I have the luxury of watching the video over again, which I greatly appreciate. Thanks man.

Hey thanks. My work just got one of these and I'm starting my first siding job. This was really helpful. Simple and clear explanation with a well developed process that I can take with me.

This was the best instructional video. I am making a small custom catch bassin for eavestroughs. This gave me enough insight to make it myself. Thanks

Thanks a lot. This helps a lot. Got a piece that I have to replicate because the old fascia flew off my building. But I have access to a brake for 20 minutes at my friend's place. And you even showed me how to cut it too. I'm ready to do it now.

Thank you sooooo much, man. I have a good amount of coil stock work to do on my garage fascia and am completely new to the break. This was a huge help!

❌ instant Subscriber. Because of the easy way this guy describes using a break. Looking forward to learning from the other videos on the channel . I wish other managers I’ve had before became a carpenter were able to teach like this. ⭐️ Gold star for teaching

I’m trying this today. I hope it’s as easy as you make it look.

Excellent recovery from your knife veering off the brake blade! I could hear the words going through your mind as it happened. :)

Watched the video a few weeks ago. Best part for me was the table set up. I'm a newbe homeowner having to replace all the metal trim on a 20 yr. old house I built. Unfortunately, my siding guy didn't know to warn me about al over treated wood. So it's rotted through. Thanks for the process video.

Super helpful. I couldn’t get fascia in the size I needed and had to buy a coil. I had no idea how to even cut it. Thanks for explaining!

This is so straight forward and simply explained right

Thank you so much, that’s is best informative way and detail of how to bend the fascia trim. I did one manually, just one 😅, and it did not look good. I will be renting the Metal Breaker so I don’t ruin all my trim sheets. Again thank you for showing us of “the how to do” or bend trims. Mike
