I've been having problems keeping the sheet from pushing back or sliding between the angle iron on my brake. Could it be thatI have the top piece too far back from the from the bottom. It's about an 1/8 ".

Tom-
No, mine's at 1/8" back, too. Sounds more like your clamp bolts are too far back, so the front edge of the top piece rocks up and doesn't get a good bite. Either that or your angle has a curve at the front. The only mod I'd make to Dave's design is to use a beefier hinge than the aluminum.

Tom,
While you probably need to get a little better choke up on the bend
line, it sounds like your top beam isn't able to clamp effectively. I'd
look at that for the slide problem
and consider getting a tighter grip for a better radius. I always cut a
short piece, do a practice bend for a critical bend like this and then
repeat it when satisfied.
It'll save you a lot of material in the long run.
