DETAILS & SPECIFICATIONS
The Trim-A-Brake series was developed in 1964 and remains mostly unchanged thanks to its simple yet proven design. It is an excellent brake that really excels at being affordable and functional for most simple bends that DIY’ers and contractors may need to create. With its incorporated stainless-steel edge, scoring and snapping aluminum coil stock with a utility knife is a breeze. Perfect for 90-degree bends, it can even create 130-degree bends when needed, though highly detailed trim projects may require a more full-featured cam-locking brake.
The TrimCutter was developed in the late 1990’s and was designed to work with our more refined, and newest at the time, cam-locking brakes. These include the Mark I, Mark II TrimMaster, MetalMaster and our Industrial brake models built from 1998 to today. The Trim-A-Brake predates the TrimCutter by almost 30 years, which is why the two products aren’t compatible.
Van Mark brakes are typically sold by themselves, allowing the user to select the ideal accessories to pair with their brake, like stands (we offer multiple leg and stand options), cutters, formers, or a CoilDispenser, allowing for ultimate flexibility in setting up their workflow without buying anything they don’t need or won’t use.
