One of the cons of the Tapco brake is that it needs to be adjusted frequently. Though I find it overall to be a bit more efficient than the Vanmark if set up well, the Vanmark rarely needs adjusting. I went 17 years without adjusting my Vanmark brake and it bent straight as an arrow through that time. Some have suggested using locktite on the adjustment screws, but I’d rather not as I can’t see anywhere that you should use it. I keep the 4” x 12” pieces of aluminum right above the brake and quic

This is how I load a coil into the cradle for my brake. One of the most annoying parts of this cradle is that the jaw doesn’t open all the way so it takes a bit of fiddling to get the coil through the jaw. I do prefer this cradle over my Vanmark cradle since it’s attached to the brake. My Vanmark cradle mounts onto a sawhorse beside the brake.

This design save space underneath as my other coil roller needs to be mounted on a sawhorse or workbench. T

This anvil extension is one accessory for my brake that’s 100% useful. I used it on my Vanmark brake for a long time so now I got one for my Tapco brake. It allows for the cutter to stay on the track - just slide it off and bend away. It’s from @innovatools_inc Since I like and have used their products for quite some time now, I’ve asked them if I could have a discount code for you guys and they gave me one. It’s THESIDINGGUY or there’s a link in my bio (innovatools.ca). They have lots of access

I’m getting used to my Tapco brake and erasing some the different muscle memory I had associated with my Vanmark. I’m definitely liking the 19” throat. Normally I pre-mark the pieces before rolling th_1.mp4 | Men Tools
