About this product

Van Mark built the Metal Master 20 around a 20″ throat for metal roofing work, and the Pro-Grade brings that reach to siding, window, door and trim jobs. The 6’6″ model (Van Mark MM660) is the mid-size option, at 107 lb.

Where does a deep throat help on a house? Wide fascia and frieze wraps, deep soffit returns, chimney chase caps, and valley or cricket pieces cut from wide stock. A 20″ throat reaches bends that a 14″ brake leaves out of range, and the 6’6″ length handles most window, door and porch trim as well.

On the brake: three 60 Series castings with Van Mark’s cam-lock clamp, dual base rails, and a Power Lock bar that clamps along the full bending edge to reduce oil canning and warping. The bar opens to a 150-degree bending radius, which helps when you over-bend or close a hem. The POWERslot hinge auto-measures a 5/8″ hem, and the brake bends up to 180 degrees. Handles are full-loop and anodized, and the locking handle locks by pushing away from you.

Van Mark rates the Pro-Grade for .027″ 3003-H14 aluminum, 29 gauge painted or galvanized steel, 24 oz soft copper, .032″ soft zinc and 29 gauge 304L stainless. Stands are sold separately; use a 20″ throat stand such as the UniStand EZ-GO USA2EZ or the UniLeg 2. The Van Mark TrimFormer adds brickmold and rib profiles on the brake.

It is available from our New Brunswick, NJ warehouse: call (732) 561-4275 to check stock, or simply add it to your quote.

Questions

What is throat depth?

It is how far in from the edge of the sheet the brake can bend. The Metal Master 20 reaches 20", against 14" on Van Mark's TrimMaster brakes.

Will it bend 26 gauge steel?

The Pro-Grade is rated for 29 gauge. For 26 gauge, choose the Metal Master 20 Heavy-Duty.
