Used Tapco Machines for Sale

Tapco is a name commonly associated with portable sheet metal brakes used by siding, trim and roofing crews to bend coil stock, flashing and drip edge on the jobsite. Used brakes under this name are among the more common listings from contractors who are upgrading or leaving the trade. Lengths, capacities and accessories vary, so check the details of the specific brake rather than going by name alone.

What to verify on any used brake

  • Serial plate or model label: photograph it to confirm the model and rated capacity.
  • Straightness: bend a full-length test piece and check for bow or uneven angles.
  • Hinges and handles: look for loose pins, cracked castings and worn locking cams.
  • Accessories: check whether the stand, cutter or slitter and other parts are included.
  • Frame damage: look for bent rails or weld repairs from transport.
  • Parts availability: confirm replacement parts are still offered.
