His fabrication table sent me straight to my garage to weld my own table!

Very nice job ! You have done a great job on the build.

[@RathaSochenda]

Thank you!

[@Atlantismonkey40]

Just found your channel. Very impressive work, I must say. You’re not asking, but I have a hack for you. That scale is, cool. If you install a couple of pin rods, and an inexpensive magnet. You can remove the device when not in use. I’m going to check out the first part of build. Again nice work.

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks

Appreciate it!!

[@Ekanselter]

Wow! I wish you were my brother and I lived just down the road! Lol

[@RathaSochenda]

Love it! Maybe one day 😅

[@jayinmi3706]

Had an idea, but I don't know if it would ever come in to play. Since the fingers are different widths, would maybe making the back guide slide side to side be a worthwhile upgrade? Can't think of a specific instance, but I haven't needed a finger brake yet.

[@RathaSochenda]

Yeah I thought about that have it slide on linear guide rails. Left to right.

[@mpkleinbreteler]

Really nice press brake! :) Have you considered marking bend lines with your plasma torch? The powermax xp series can mark with 10 amps :) (just "cut" only the bend lines first, at 10 amps, then the outlines at full power) This creates a slight groove that you can use for aligning the press die (for example with diagonal bends) You can also mark spots for pre drilling

[@RathaSochenda]

Interesting. Thanks

[@caracarametal]

great video, even better press brake! Where do you buy those magnetic square blocks?

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks. Square can be found @ genuinemetalworks

[@SegoMan]

I use a sharpie which leaves approx a 1/8" line,which is the same as the radius on my punch.

[@CarstenMoyer]

What k factor are you using in your sheet metal bending? There should be some number in your SolidWorks sheet metal settings around .4 to .5 k factor. This may adjust your bend line.

[@RathaSochenda]

I’m just using the default k factor of .5 but I think I may have to adjust it per material and thickness

[@nicholasduncan3921]

I wish I had someone that could just tech me how to cad like that badass

[@Ekanselter]

Because the Vevor Pump has only a 2 gal tank are you concerned that the oil might exceed 140 degF during production runs? Do you think a digital temp gauge with a probe in the tank would be a good addition?

[@RathaSochenda]

I did runs of 30-50 parts. No concern at all really. Maybe if I did more but honestly if I’m doing like 1000 units I’m outsourcing it

[@Seraphim_Metal_Works]

Where did you get your burnout table from?

[@RathaSochenda]

Arclight

[@Dzon_Jacek]

👍

[@Michael-e8y3u]

Bro, make CNC Press Brake machine

[@elegymusic]

add roughly half the thickness of the piece per 90 degree bend typically. Ex. 14 gauge aluminum is .080 thick and your bend allowance for 1 bend is .032 2 bends is .064 3 bends is .096...etc

[@RathaSochenda]

Good to know
