Hi David,
Like most tools and machines the Magnabend has pluses and minuses.
Probably its most significant limitation is the thickness capacity.
The E-type Magnabend will bend 1.6mm (16 gauge) sheet metal although the bends in that material are not particularly sharp.
But provided you are working in thinner gauges then the Magnabend is generally more versatile than other folders.
Have you looked at the video that we made (some time ago now!):
