    Features & Benefits

    1. Cam Locking System
    Cam Lock System Van Mark has engineered the most effective and practical method for locking material on a bending brake. This patented design consists of an Aluminum Cam with a Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene wedge.
    2. Military Grade Aluminum Castings
    Each clamping station uses TWO Military Grade Aluminum Castings. The dual castings provide a strong and solid clamping pressure. This design has been time-tested and endured.
    3. Dual Support Base Rails
    All Van Mark brakes come standard with TWO full base rail extrusions that provide a solid foundation. Inhibits twisting and torqueing while bending.
    4. Power Lock™ Bar
    Provides stronger clamping pressure along entire bending edge for crisp, clean bends without oil canning⁄ warping. Full 150° bending radius, makes the second step of "hemming" to 180° even easier. Features AccuTrack rails that allow for brake mounted accessories like our TrimCutter, TrimFormer and MultiGauges.
    5. POWERslot™ Hinge
    Durable hinge that "auto-measures" 5 ⁄ 8" hem with ease. This hinge design provide increase bending strength.
    6. Locking Handle
    Full loop locking handle with high density foam cushion grips secure locks by pushing handle away from user. This allows handle to not interfere with material when bending larger pieces. Has quick release handles for easy transportation.
    7. Bending Handle
    Full loop bending handle with high density foam cushion grips connects a 2-4 integrated contact points allowing for straighter, more even bends with one hand operation. Ideal for bending and hemming full length (8ft +) pieces.

    DETAILS & SPECIFICATIONS

    Introducing our new and improved castings, lighter yet stronger. Question: How do you make something Lighter yet stronger? Answer: Innovative Design using solid Modeling Technology. This allows each casting to clamp tighter, producing more accurate and precise bends.

    The Metal Master® 20 was originally designed for the metal roofing industry and this why we engineered the largest throat depth portable bending brake available. The success and popularity of our metal roofing Metal Master® 20 has created demand from residential siding and roofing contractors to develop a lighter version with a 20" Throat Depth, so we did. The Metal Master® 20 Contractor version offers same great capabilities and functionality as the Mark Series, but now with a deeper throat. Versatile in its ability to perform various complex bending profiles with ease. Go from bending simple flashing to intricate outside corner posts without making any adjustments to the bending brake. The POWERslot™ Hinge “auto-measures” to a 5 ⁄ 8" bend to make tight pockets for vinyl siding and fiber cement boards. The durable Cam-Locking has proven year after year to be reliable without constant adjustments.

  • New Casting, lighter yet stronger.
  • POWERlock™ provides a strong clamping without need for adjusting when changing material.
  • POWERslot™ hinge "auto-measures" 5 ⁄ 8" hem with ease.
  • Increased bending radius simplifies hemming & over-bending resulting in faster, easier operations.
  • Available in lengths of 2’0", 4’6", 6’6", 8’6", 10’6", and 12’6".
