Not only a simple Press Brake attachment // Laser Engraver with the xTool S1

[@sungear]

One of the reasons i like this channel is the editing. Pretty quick presentation with the highlights only. I appreciate that the editing can take a long time too.

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😊 Yes I always edit the videos so that I would like to watch them myself

[@marvinmarlin9655]

Another nice build Dirk, I am about half way through a similar build but with the addition of a bearing & broaching press. The trick is getting them all to play nicely together without loosing any accuracy or consistency. A couple of parts from your build are better designed than mine so they will find their was onto my build, thank you kindly.

[@silvergrizzly316]

Dirk, you are definitely a pro, very nicely done my friend!!! God Bless 🙌 🙏 Jay.

[@kevinmorin7965]

What alloy was the aluminum? 4T bullnose/die radius for 5356 and at least 2T for 5052? Otherwise the aluminum will stress crack along the outside of the bends. Also, in general, if the inner shoulders of the lower die aren't radiused or lined with paper or plastic sheets (?) there is a 'tear zone' initiated by the scoring of the die's shoulders in the 50 series sheet and plate. Sure seen lots of tanks and other marine fabrications done with knife edge upper dies that ended up ruining perfectly good aluminum sheet that doesn't act the same as steel in a press brake.

[@onionhead5780]

Ya, when I was in high school screwing around in the metals shop the aluminum sheet would crack when you bent it exactly as you described.

Einfach genial die Umsetzung 🤗 Immer wieder erstaunlich was du alles aus ein paar Rohren, Winkeln und Flachmaterial machst 🙌 Auch dieses mal wieder "on-point" den Film für den Abend serviert mit handwerklichem Können, sauguter Kameraarbeit und Schweissporno 👀 Bin jetzt schon gespannt, was als nächstes kommt 👍

Vielen Danke für das Lob! Grüße 👋

[@brandoncrimmins6296]

I really like the part where the video almost entirely shows him building one thing. Then he demonstrates a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT and press designed ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. And even goes so far as to assemble the original build at the end and does even bother to a piece of 24g sheet metal with it. You people are all VERY easily impressed.

[@tylercousins7779]

Agreed. 50% of this video is pointless.

[@428Mario]

Nicely done

[@sanddan525]

Did you use a special rod to weld on the edge or just regular steel filler rod?

[@TheMetalist]

Yes its a special hard coating

[@jesusmarte1880]

Excelente trabajo

[@ssaasszza]

Very nice project, i like that is quite compact. I guess that aditional weld on edge is for strength, isn't it? What fill material was used?

[@TheMetalist]

Yes its a hard coating. I have to take a look on the box

At 14:01, it says r = 20. To me, though, it looks like the diameter is 20, not the radius.

[@gazbusterskerteszet1269]

I really like your videos, this one is very well done. Why did you weld off the edge of the blade, what is the significance of that?

[@rijkbroertjes890]

I guess to harden the steel

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😊 yes its a hart coating

[@ifansyahhadi1122]

It's time for you to make an Ironman welding mask project. This is quite challenging. I'm waiting for the next video.from indonesia.

[@rustycopperpot]

Nice work although a minor point that bugged me, the round bar tool looks to me like 20mm diameter, which would be R10, not R20.

[@Zophus1]

Simple. Yeah, that's... that's exactly what I was thinking

[@robertmorrison886]

Awesome 👍

[@maurizio4022]

hello: from minute 14:00 I see a bar with a diameter of 20 millimeters. The radius will therefore be 10 millimeters, not 20. Or am I wrong?

[@TheMetalist]

😂😂😂 you are 100% right, i missed that

[@wEL-uz]

Waouuuu !!! Very good job 👍❤

[@FlorianH0867]

Is there any update to the black hammer? I am waiting quite a while now. Thank you

[@TheMetalist]

Hi Florian, The black ones have problems with the coating at the moment. But they should be available soon. You could also have one with a different coating

I have bought but in this video it is just hand control

[@ferriswhitehouse1476]

Why do you put a bead of weld along the fingers? Does it increase the hardness?

I've seen a few machinist using the slide ruler you use at 0:32, but I cannot find where to buy them. The Amazon versions are cheap and insufficient looking, I want to find where to purchase the one you have. Please tell me where I can get one, thanks!

Pure masterpiece video and one of the cleanest metal work on YT, the thread taping seems to be butter 🤩. This very straightforward assemblying of those manifold parts makes me suspect an insane eyeball precision ☺️. Just 2 question , what’s the tonnage of the jack ? Why the thread taping seems to be so smooth and easy, is it a Downcut bit ? Thanks !! 🙏🏼🙏🏾

Bc the weld is hard, while mild steel is soft. Need the edge hard bc it will wear and deform pushing against metal
