DIY Hydraulic Press Brake PART 3 - Bend with Precision

DIY Hydraulic Press Brake PART 3
In this video we talk about how we can set the vertical height and how we can use the DRO to set certain bend angles. Stay tune to end and see the max capacity of what this can bend full length and what thickness.

Video Description:
How to build a homemade pressbrake. In this video series, I’ll share the process of building out my homemade brake press, which will include a NC control back gauge and limit switches to tell how far the punch die needs to travel down to achieve a desired and repeatable bend angle.

This series has come out at the perfect time for me as I’m currently looking at options. The Swag Off-road gear is pretty good too but, this attachment looks to be the best quality I’ve seen so far. Your upgrades are perfect for consistent repeatability. Your video presentation and format are spot on too. Clear methodical and easy to follow. Love your work!

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks appreciate it!

[@mikefruin]

Thanks Ratha, doing recon on retrofitting my press. You’ve captured all the features on my wish list. Cheers!

[@RathaSochenda]

Glad it helped 👍

[@homemadetools]

Excellent press brake. We shared this video (and the first two parts) on our homemade tools forum last week. 😎

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks hoped it help

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

Definitely going on my future build list. Between the plasma cutter and the press brake, a great combo. I have the Hypertherm PM 65 on my PlasmaCAM table, and a 30in shear/brake/roller. Working on a 2x72 belt grinder among other things. Your build is very logical and impressive doing a full 0.1875 width mild steel bend with that quality. Keep the vids coming.

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@KennyB9871]

Awesome series! Thanks for sharing! 🙌👊

[@stefinstein3739]

Great job! Simple. Effective. Love it. I see room for improvement! Overtime the cyclic forces on the frame can cause fatigue failures in the welds. You should disassemble for painting because it would look slick. While the frame is bare you can add some knee braces in the top crossbar like you did in the bottom crossbar then go a step further and add some plates to “box in” the whole sides of all the channels. There isn’t much there in the webs of those channels so adding side plates creates a double box section which is considerably stiffer. Add a custom logo or name it with some lettering with your cnc table! “When it’s Built not Bought, it’s Custom not Cost’em”

[@roxifbabyyy]

This series is great! It’s amazing seeing your thought process and your work. The full length bends and your repeatability are 🔥

[@RathaSochenda]

[@NoName-ml5yk]

By far the best Press Brake build on KZbin. Do your plans include the new design yet?

[@RathaSochenda]

Yes it’s all been updated per my website.

[@trinityfabworks6493]

Looks good dude!

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks Cody!

[@phillipchambers8487]

Ratha, Great Video Brother! I am starting the Build of my Ratha Sochenda Press Brake W.I.Y. Kit very soon. I just got a new MiG Machine on Saturday, and I think the only thing I’m still waiting on to show up is the Press Brake Tool from Cyclops. I am gonna go ahead and start getting my Steel Cut and Welded up, and everything else installed as far as I can til it shows up.

[@RathaSochenda]

Appreciate it!

[@frederickshipp8013]

Box your C iron on both sides, that should eliminate the deflection your getting. PS I'm very impressed with the things you are doing, engineering and fabricating. Keep it up, everything should pay off for you if it hasn't already.

[@johnnytejeda1412]

Good job, nicely detailed this set up is perfectly explained 👌 definitely interested in building this.

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks 🙏🏽

[@markbenoit]

Nice work, How are you cleaning up those plasma cut parts with having sanding marks all over them? The brackets look great, I just got a used arc light CNC table.

[@kaledueck212]

Top notch work!

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks

[@user-kh2yl6nn3l]

All I can say is, Impressive work . :) Sub'd . Thanks .

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks!

[@terrencewilsonpoopoo]

Just wrapping up my own custom Cnc plasma table. This is next up

[@RathaSochenda]

Sweet!

[@terrencewilsonpoopoo]

Now I know this suggestion sounds crazy, but maybe taking a micro stepper and attaching it to the adjustment screw that way you can set your depth of plunge with numerical control as well. Could be a good addition.., 🤷🏾‍♂️ After enough trial and error you can have a really consistent chart of bends for all common materials and lengths

[@wrenchbender01]

What part of Canada are you from?

Where did you get that fat combination square from 6:36 that would make my life a hell of a lot easier
