SWAG OFF ROAD PRESS BRAKE GOOSENECK & HEMMING DIES DEMO

Have you looking to increase the bending capabilities of your SWAG finger press brake kit?
The SWAG gooseneck dies are laser cut at 90° to allow for air bending. If you have used your press brake for any "special" projects you have ran into the limitations of the straight segmented fingers. These limitations become apparent when bending shallow pans or forming complex "U" bends. These punches are used for forming right angle bends, channels, or other special bends where our straight 90° punch would cause interference and limit your bending options.
The SWAG Hemming dies perform an operation in which the edges of the sheet metal are folded (or folded over) another part in order to achieve a tighter fit. This product includes precise laser cut pieces of 1/2" plate that can be stacked in a line or welded together to suite your application. The kit consists of 32 individual pieces that when fully assemble forms an 8" long Hemming die. Typical Hemming operations are used to connect parts together, to improve the appearance of the part and to reinforce edges.

Great video, I recently purchased the ports and table and I'm getting ready to buy the heavy duty finger break.

[@jamesbarratt593]

I bought the 40 inch finger brake kit and the dies. Fantastic

[@coolHandLuke5150]

Must have for any DYI fabricator

[@retireddriver16]

Sure hope to have that set up some day soon

[@johnsweeney6072]

As me dad said to me you don’t need a long neck to be a goose 👍🇦🇺 nice ideas 💡

[@dandannels8821]

Neet Ben a machinest for 48 years 👍👍👍🛠⚒🛠

[@youngmantiburon]

I finally got to use my Swag brake press and I love it.

[@SuperKyle309]

I run a 200 ton press so I find this interesting.

[@SmallPressBrake]

good job

[@mikeeagle2653]

So the dies actually need to be under sized. To allow for material thickness. So if you need a 1” wide piece out to out and your bending 1/8 material you would need a die 3/4 wide.

[@zps4173]

Funny looking goose neck. And that's not all they are for. Yours is cut custom for what ever reason. You should be able to brake a .75 lip 90 and then feed the piece in another 0.75 and brake 90. Up over and down. You can Fab shit like wrecker trucks and service beds and tool boxes and I have always cut my dies to width as needed. The it is referred to as a box break.

[@phillhuddleston9445]

So what are the dies made of?

[@Swagoffroad]

The dies are made with 1/2" plate steel.

[@tsmartin]

@Archie Bunker They never said this was an industrial tool. It beats ... no pun intended ... trying to bend sheet metal in a bench vise with a block of wood and a hammer.

[@sblack48]

How do you make a large radius bend, like 1/4"? Is the bottom die have a wide enough V?

[@blacksheep9734]

Rv4 Guy you can get all different sorts of dyes for different applications

[@mitchdenner9743]

Radiused dies

[@racinford1]

I have a large 45* die in the bottom and you can take a dowel pin and weld it on a punch to achieve the radius

[@ManjitSingh-wj1il]

Wary nice

[@heurisvinaz8261]

How did you guys get the bottle jack to be air operated?

[@Swagoffroad]

We replaced the manual bottle jack with a 20 Air Over Hydraulic Jack from Harbor Freight.

[@Raumfahrtblei]

maybe... in a future far... far away... the finger press breake is available in Europe.. without 190$ of shipping and taxes..

[@TandD1w]

For the press, can you guys develop a set of dies for bending solid round bar? I tried to put a 90 bend in some 1/2” round using the HD press and dented a die.

[@garethanthonyclark4879]

Bending round bar is very tricky. I would estimate that in your case you would need a punch with atleast a 6mm radius and also a v of between 60 to 100mm due to the inner radius that it will automatically bend to. Moreover you might need a die with bearings on the shoulder of the die to minimize friction during bending.

[@Texaslife365]

Can’t you just use a horizontal bandsaw to cut the solid die into fingers?

[@Swagoffroad]

I apologize, but I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you saying cut a solid top die Press Brake into smaller segments in order to make it a finger brake? If so, you could but you would then need a clamping bar to hold the fingers.

[@racinford1]

You being the professional and , well the upper fingers are called PUNCHS the lower are called Die. Male= Punch Female = Die. Just saying. your hemming die sets are referred to as Acute angle die sets. Each die set will have material clearance to handle the different thickness. The lower die can brake if the material is too thick.

[@OfficialNetDevil]

racinford1 I appreciate this comment, I actually learned something neat from it. 🙂 I didn’t know the punches/dies thing either.

[@OfficialNetDevil]

Couldn’t I do shallow pans and boxes with the gooseneck set and not need the hemming at all? No sarcasm, I’m truly new to the bending world of metal brakes, I bought one from HF and wanna master it. 😊

[@Swagoffroad]

Sounds like you got it figured out! All you need for small boxes and pans is a finger brake and maybe some gooseneck dies depending on the size of what you're bending.

[@JWB671]

Swagoffroad.... so how small a box can you bend with the standard finger brakes?

[@ooa9123]

Not sure what you're trying to sale a tool or do i have to work to make a tool

[@Swagoffroad]

What we offer are dies that are specifically designed to make certain bends and hems easier to do, that cannot be made with standard or conventional dies.

[@jamesbarratt593]

Camera to see your back and then struggle to see past you to the work you did, hmmmmm dude really. Also I have your gear here. So I pressed a nut against a finger die and found the nut dented the finger die. I thought those would have been made from tool steel rockwell hard hard. Guess not

[@m34275]

clickbait nobody died

[@bpdp379]

Hemming is obviously the main character….
