Help: Grizzly 48" Box and Pan Sheet Metal Brake

[YOHO]

Hi all. Recently picked up a Grizzly box and pan brake. Older model, but similar to the current Grizzly G0950.

It is missing the front piece of angle iron on the apron. Anybody know what size of angle iron it is?

Thanks

Does it need it?

Hey.

Yes, definitely.

can you measure the opening in the brake at the vertical leg of the angle & go from there?
dimension probably doesn't really matter too much .
also it looks like it has a ground surface
is that pc available from them for the new number?

Not super critical for the leg lengths, thickness for rigidity perhaps? Front leg is as short as possible to keep interference to a minimum

I would guess 2x2x1/4" or similar metric dims. Just go grab yourself something similar and match up the hole pattern.
You can even oversize the holes to make alignment that much easier on yourself

Good luck

Okay that's what I was thinking.

Thanks for your time and help!

I'm late to the game, but 2x2x1/4" is right on point. It's actually 50mm x 50mm x 5mm. I agree with the oversizing too.
