Bending sub-minimum leg length on trim brake. 26g 430SS, Van Mark brake

it was a first attempt and it was a success. If your brake is strong enough and your pieces are thin enough, you can bend smaller angles than the minimum leg length. I'm fairly certain that Tapco and Van Mark are 3/4", whereas the InnovaTools brake minimum is 5/8". (Update: the Van Marks now claim to be 5/8" so I think they updated the tool) The minimum leg length shown here is 1/2". I needed to do this bend because I wanted to use a piece of scrap metal but it wasn't quite wide enough to do the job properly, so instead of spending more money I would of course try something like this.
