I'm not fond of the large radius the die is leaving in the video. could stand to be sharper. For me this has always made consistent bends for me troublesome. I do not own this model but had something similar.

Does it have much of an advantage over
a vice brake like this if you have a decent vice?
The vise would be stronger but the spindle housing on the moving jaw limits the lead length of the material.
I have these from grizzly and they are great for small parts. But awkward to get your part in and aligned.
