Tapco Brake Accessory

Take the flipping and flopping out of bending metal stock with this bolt-on mini-table.

I do not bend an enormous amount of metal (I bend it mainly for deck ledgers and various repairs, and I鈥檝e done my share of windows), but you know as well as I do that coil stock flops around and you have to measure it multiple times.

Well, maybe not so much anymore. Tapco鈥檚 M2X is a simple, bolt-on mini-table with measurements written on it. It sets on the brake and Tapco says it speeds up marking, bending, and cutting and increases accuracy.

If you bend even a little metal, this looks like a must have. Check the specs:

路 Onboard measuring tape
路 Easy-to-attach, movable magnetic brackets with measurement markings
路 Beveled edge allows you to measure your bends from the middle of the brake to save you from walking back and forth
路 Helps increase accuracy and reduce waste
路 Works with 10′ 6″ and smaller ProSeries brakes (Pro III and newer)
路 Works in conjunction with the Pro Cut-Off
