imo, if you spend the money buy a brake, not a multifunction machine.

If you can afford the expense, and do some metal bending work too, invest in a finger brake.

24"    http://grizzly.com/products/24-Pan-and-Box-Brake/G0557

Or for very intermittent use

I found this PCB board cutter for a little less,

But weighs 114 #, so freight makes up a bunch of the price difference.
Not sure--is 22 gauge steel thick enough to cut PCB's?   I don't know the 22 gauge.    Plus it bends as well as shears.   And slip rolls, whatever that means.     But I wouldn't buy it without a personal recommendation.
