TrimCutter & Coil Dispenser.

  • Van Mark Products, known throughout the industry for the superior quality of its products and customer service, now takes a revolutionary step in the design and performance of the modern bending brake with the introduction of the Mark 1 Series.
  • The Mark 1 Series design represents a quantum leap in the manufacture of bending brakes. The first true cam-locking system in the industry, the Mark 1 features fewer parts combined with a rugged durable design that increases on-the-job performance while extending the brake service life. An impressive array of bending capabilities puts the Mark 1 in a class all by itself.
  • The Mark 1 Series Bending Brake is the only brake on the market able to handle both residential and commercial applications without constant adjustments. Note: Contractor models M1260-M1460, along with Commercial models M1261-M1461, each come with dual locking and bending handles
  • Heavy duty performance to handle heavier gage commercial metals
  • The Mark 1® uses high grade materials to prevent marring during bending operation
  • Van Mark uses the strongest extrusions when making the Mark 1®, to provide years of dependable, durable service
  • Key Way aligns cams, reduces parts (no bolts, pins, etc.) and ensures consistent locking pressure along entire length of brake, bend after bend
  • The strongest Castings in the industry. A better weight-to-power ratio ensures better job site efficiency and performance
  • Automatically and simultaneously adjusts to any gage material inserted in jaws eliminating multiple lock point adjustments.
  • Double journals with self-lubricating, thermoplastic (UHMW) bearings at every lock point ensures worry free operation in any climate
  • UHMW thermoplastic locking pads out perform conventional materials as well as complicated mechanical locking systems. They eliminate all metal to metal friction

Features/Specifications/Capacities
 

1. Arcuate Hinge Design/Thick Hollow-Core Extrusions
The Mark II TrimMaster®, featuring new POWERslot™ technology, takes more of your bending energy from the hinge axis and re-directs it to the bend itself. To keep your brake bending
true for many years to come, thicker hollow-core extrusions have been added.
2. Handle Plugs Do Not Hit Ladder Rack
Handles detach quickly for transport while handle plugs do not hit ladder rack when top loading.
3. Non-Marring Vinyl Strips
The Mark II TrimMaster® uses high grade polymers in the vinyl strips to prevent marring of
materials during the bending operation.
4. Computer Designed Components
Van Mark uses computer designed components, including thicker walls when making the
Mark II TrimMaster®, ensuring years of dependable, trouble-free service.

5. Full length Key Way
Provides consistent locking pressure along the entire brake with less parts to wear out.
6. Aircraft Grade Aluminum Castings
The strongest computer designed castings in the industry provide the basis for the highest
bending capacities you can get in a portable brake.

7. Patented Cam Locking System
Allows the brake to clamp onto the thickness of whatever material is being bent and seldom, if
ever, requires adjustment (a claim supported by Van Mark owners everywhere).

8. Double Journals/Thermoplastic Bearings
Double journals with self-lubricating, thermoplastic (UHMW) bearings at every lock point
ensures worry free operation in any climate.

9. Independently Adjustable Wedges
You may never have to adjust your Van Mark brake, but if you want to, you still have that option.
