16 gauge steel sheet (Shear - Brake)

Im interested in cutting a 16 gauge steel sheet as well as bending the edges to from a pan. Will the shear/brake handle that gauge. The steel sheet will be about as long as the shear.

If the shear wont handle your material then you can get authorized to use the CNC plasma
