Coil roll holder attachment end mounts tough. Might figure the side space in your layout if you're going to get one.

I have always laid out my metal on a table like in our trailer. It let's you lay out multiple pieces and then bend them up vs doing your layout as you bend. Different ways others learn I guess.

Around here there is no way you can do replacement doors and windows without bending metal onsite. We have a tapco 10'6" 19" deep and a 14" deep. The 14" is at least 15 years old, been rebuilt. Not great for anything under 1/2". The 19" is only a few years old, still works like it's brand new.

I just meant, if he's getting the coil holder, to remember that it requires additional side space.

Man, I would have a hard time giving up all that interior trailer space for extension ladders and scaff planks like you have there OA. It would go roof mount for me. Depends what the needs are, & I imagine it works well for you.

What limitations have you come across with the 14" vs. the 19"?
