should be a bell icon in the top corner
and make sure you click that so you are
notified today we're talking about box
and pan breaks and we've got mad here
who's going to show you how to make a
battery tray and before I before I
forget or so I don't forget the day
Scotty see everybody's favorite leadtek
advisors sitting over here ready to
answer all your questions
he's never been stumped have you Scott
yeah I guess sometimes we lose there's
been times you had to look something up
yes i have but the information is on our
website i bet not always easy to find
most long so yeah information everyone
it's everything I will not decide yes
yes it is as well as all of our videos
and if you have any questions post them
in the comments Cottle answer more oil
thrown back to us so mad when we got
going today
yes so today we're going to just do a
quick we made up a little battery tray
here so if you have you know if you're
building a custom car or no race car or
maybe you're just doing restoration with
battery trays rotted out the common
little thing that you can make a quick
little project we rolled some beads in
it to make it so that it's strong and
not going to bend and we figure we show
you guys we got these new figure breaks
that we are launching yeah we got 12 24
and 48 yet so the you know depending on
the size of your shop we got one that
will fit you know kind of fit your needs
if you got a larger shop of course we
got the big boy in the back that you
cannot do some larger stuff with which
is coming soon
yeah actually yeah that was coming very
soon 1224 currently in stock up right on
the site so i figure i'll show you guys
I made up this panel where we already
did the bead rolling in it and we cut
our corners out this is what we started
with and for any guys that are
subscribed to our YouTube channel will
put together a little video of the whole
process that will be on the on our
youtube channel next week so you guys
can watch you know how we laid out the
panel use the pattern and everything
like that so we want to get in closer
here will show you the the actual break
and some of the features of it
so the finger break the nice thing with
it is that it has these little fingers
or leaves that you can take out now not
only can you take them out they have a
little threaded inserts that you can
slide around so we can move these around
however you want to fit whatever shape
we want
however the bends are and why this is
important normal break if we were but we
want to bend a box we depend on each
side and we've been these two sides we
go to turn it it's going to come into
itself we're going to be able to bend it
may be no 1015 degrees before it's gonna
hurt itself and we can't complete it so
with this if you set your leaves just
writer fingers just right you can let it
slip in between and it will slip right
in there and fit in
so what we've done i think we got this
all set up yesterday from yesterday
still we're going to show you making a
couple of these pens on here so guess
what we've done is we've already moved
the fingers around to make it a little
quicker and you could set with this we
already have the adjustments kind of
step with this you could set the the
leaves on the top here you can actually
set the distance that they are away
depending on the the angle of the break
the angle of the band that you're
looking to do you can set that you can
also set for material thickness
there's a handle here on the side these
the handle on the side or the the larger
one has two handles others an adjustment
here on the cyber like a turnbuckle that
you can turn to actually set the
clamping force you want it so that it's
it's enough so that the panel is not
going to move around but not so much
that you're over twerking it and could
actually damage the tool so we got that
kind of already set up here and you can
really make you been up two hundred
thirty-five degrees with a gay event /
center with it was this which is nice so
we'll do our first first Bend here and
you any what you're doing you can have a
protractor sitting there just to check
your your Bend i'm going to assume your
works perfect
yeah yeah yeah
I can do that yeah at least for this
demonstration
yeah always but depending on the metal
you're using you know there might be
spring back so you may need to adjust it
a little bit i mean when you're working
with thinner stuff like this sis
20-gauge steel you know usually you can
manipulate it a little bit by hand it's
no problem at all and and these brakes
are all rated for a 16 gauge aluminum
20-gauge steel so we did our to ben's
there now this is where the the fingers
really come into play yes if we could do
that with a regular braid yeah that's no
problem so you know if this was imagine
this was a regular break here and get on
my been line if I want to bend this up
you know you can see already at all
after a few degrees
we're going to be hitting it's not going
to work for us so we've done so you can
sneak over into here and i have these
leaves set up so that actually just knew
someone use to be snugged up make sure
they're all square guilt and so when you
want to set them looked like this one
maybe for must doing the benz is a
little soon to be tightened up so you
can set it down put a light tension i
don't have a clampdown and what that
does the squares everything up to the
base here so that we're sure
everything's where it needs to be good
to get and like and they're removable
because we took what we took one of them
out as well as well as move them around
yeah and move around a little bit i
think we stacked this is small one here
was ended up being over there and we
wanted to get it to span as much of the
we got lucky it about exact yeah if it's
not you can leave spaces and I mean
sometimes you may have to use a bunch of
small ones and you can leave a couple
spaces in between them if you want small
spaces
you know and just try to match up the
edges the corners yes well as long as
most of the you know the pieces being
held down it's going to follow the been
through
set the guy up there and like I
mentioned you can set the you can
actually set the leaves so that there
are the fingers so they're further back
so if you want to do a more gentle bend
you can do that i was just a little over
90 touched so there's about 90 degrees
flip it around put it back in and yes
now we flip it around once you get it
all setup but you know probably takes
the most time it's just getting
everything set up honestly
all right Scott do you have any
questions we're doing good ready guys
are cruising along answer them all as
usual hit they haven't stopped yet have
they
now not yet that's amazing except for
the newest one who got me just a second
ago but I luckily i was able to contact
the product manager and get the right
answer form tricky you see you're able
to contact east with tech support and
get ahead answer it again that was just
a little over 9000 like an exact fit
right there
check that out pretty quick yeah so
aside from having to you know to Snug
that stuff up but now we got a little
pan made up now we can just take these
corners take a hammer and Dolly and tap
them together again fit real nice and
then we can you know about our future
the corners and you got something you're
ready to use
yeah and like that was saying we're
gonna have a video on our site showing
the whole process of since we already
rolled the beads battery tray and you're
the reason you're not familiar be
trolling is to add strength gonna add
some appearance too
yeah you put a little design it but it
also had strength otherwise it would be
flapping yeah peace would be would be
popping in and out on it so yeah if
you're interested in any of these breaks
we got to 12 the 22-24 in stock
the big one the 48-inch behind us on
that would be in stock very soon and i'm
there at Eastwood com will do 16 gauge
aluminum and the 20-gauge steel and you
can bend over center all the way over to
a hundred thirty-five degrees as well
we do one more demo clash or maybe not
so quick but do one more demo for
anybody who's just joining us
yeah and again if you need to change any
of the settings on this in the back here
there's an area where you can loosen and
you can turn this to set the distance
forward and back of the fingers and over
here there's a little turnbuckle that
you can change you can adjust so you can
set for material thickness so pretty
quick and easy I mean that just takes
you know one or two tools for each of
them and you can and if you're not
familiar if you come over here to the
12-inch you can see all these all the
fingers here here's a wide finger then
there's one of the smaller smaller
smaller smaller yet so it allows you can
take them out or you can rearrange them
and basically make a box you're probably
always gonna have to take one of them
out like we've done over here so that
gives you the space that you need so so
after you have some sides been up that
allow you to bend another side and those
sides that are bent will go in those
gaps and and you know we got lucky
how the one we used the one we're using
it to save some time we already moved
them but it's just with a an allen key
unscrew and you can take them out or you
can just slide them around and we kind
of did both we took one out
remove the other ones around slid up
because so now that he did those two
bends which is we said you can do with
any break if joke you can see the gaps
manager pointed the two gaps where it's
going to fold up into yeah that's right
here and over here this caps larger just
you know it's not too crucial but i kept
the gap tighter here because when I was
bending this Bend I actually spanned
that area there so i left the gap a
little tighter in there all it really
needs to be it's just material thickness
or a little larger so they can fit in
between that that's all really needs to
be but of course if you give yourself if
you have the room
no by all means give it so you can not
run into the into the side and if you're
just looking for a regular break we've
got you know we've got a regular break
as well but these pan body fabrics
pretty sweet yeah you can use them you
know obviously for a regular has put all
your pieces back in all your fingers
see right there that little corner
a little spot it right and if you're not
familiar with our lives we go live every
monday tuesday and wednesday at three
o'clock eastern time so yesterday we did
welding helmet sometimes it's a
demonstration
sometimes its new products mondays are
usually new products Wednesdays we try
to do customer favorites and but we kind
of combine new products and customer
favorites today while you're filming is
there a chance the joke and get behind
it show the back of the break we have a
request to see you know the full
workings of it maybe even while Matt
spending there's really nothing happens
behind it but we can we can we can show
i can turn one of them around you while
we do all we spend the while bending
this
yeah Randy can switch it really can spin
around you guys can see the backside
they're all fairly similar yeah just
different inside but this interessant so
basically if you want to see there's not
there's not a whole lot of moving parts
on so and there that's clamping it down
and those here and there is the bending
this is from behind right so there's
another just a simple box
yeah so you know your role beads and now
when ahead of time that was a but the
you know that the most time is spent in
laying it out knowing the beads I mean
spending it once you get your brake
setup it's really quick and really
yeah this is handy for making the boxes
brackets even if you're doing something
like I ran into i wish i would have had
one of these this past weekend I was
making box section for an A pillar mean
it comes around and makes a pinch well
and that last band i just couldn't do it
in reverse event I had to do it by hand
with a handmade tool but and this you
can do all kinds of tight bends together
back on itself because it can go on to
him battery trees battery boxes you make
bigger boxes by a truck bed floors
patches where you've got a bunch of
things and shapes
any other questions here Scott is going
format action i'll rule wants to know
when you're gonna get back on pilot
house that had a while that is a key
working on it some no finishing up the
koopa go to City coupe that we we did a
bunch of videos on building the chassis
and I'm getting back on that that is
that's got a new garage space that a lot
more room to work so i'll have to move
that thing around so here soon i'll
start getting back on that thing and do
all the boring work that's left i did
all the cool stuff for you guys and
videos now I gotta do door gaps and
boring things that I don't want to do
what needs to be done to get things
ready for paint so ya soon I'll get back
on it I appreciate the heckling seven
yeah I want to wear ya go to the
motivated yep
