Read the weight on the 30" brake.

This is a monster and garage kept.

I had to dissasemble mine to get it into the basement.

Luckily, I have wheels for it as well as an anchor to secure it when 
using the shear.

I have cut 0.08" aluminum, but it pushes the unit to the limits.  I 
expect to break something if I keep doing that.  Even the steel at 
the rated thickness is an effort to shear.
