Each C-shaped member comprises a lower arm fixed to the base and an upper arm spaced from and overlying the lower arm. A first member is fixed to the lower arms of the C-shaped members and has a longitudinally extending clamping surface. A second member for bending a workpiece is hinged to the first member and extends longitudinally with respect to the first member. A longitudinally extending clamping member is pivoted to the upper arm of the C-shaped members. A handle member is provided on the brake for moving the clamping member. A cutter rotatably supports opposed cutting rolls and includes first rollers engaging the clamping member and second rollers engaging the bending member.
