Yes! Sweet SWAG finger press brake kit! A narrow one for my HF 20 ton press is on my wish list. First I bought a pair of SWAG indestructable press plates. (HF includes cheap cast iron press plates, Snap!) SWAG Flycuts wide sides to remove & smooth mill scale, & makes 2 V cuts & 2 half round cuts. I just used them last week to bend a 1/4" pipe sleeve backing plate pipe insert to hot weld pipe sections together. Get some press plates for your press! I priced some locally cut plates (S. Central Tx, San Antonio metro area) & SWAG's price shipped could Not be beat by local shops!

Nice! I've got the same press brake and love it, along with everything else I've gotten from SWAG. Quality made in USA products, and awesome folks to deal with. I highly recommend getting a set of their press plates for your press, they are without equal. Also, when you support your press brake, be sure you have a support plate under the middle( or very near it ) in line with the ram. On thin stuff, it doesn't really matter, but if you bend some thick material with a big unsupported span under the bottom die( like you did in the video ), you will bend the lower die eventually. Super handy shop addition!

Seems like it needs to be bolted down or something for safety, or it has potential to flip. It's basically like squeezing a spring with 2 fingers, it's apt to want to shoot out to the side. Here I'm thinking the bottom plate could slip out if not perfectly centered under the ram.

She’s gorgeous. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friends. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friends. Great job reviewing this break. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.

I have this same brake for a 20 ton press its pretty sweet i dont use it often but am glad i have it. Its going to be a great tool for your shop. I would explain how it works with the spring return but i assume by the end if the video you will have it figured out lol. Those post are a pain as they have to be perfect or they will bind as you round out lol. If you stack smaller angles you can bend different thickness material to 90° Cant wait to see future projects and to have a plasma table of my own :( good work, keep the vids coming!

Just a thought. Might be worth your while to get the same sized block for the center of the press brake so it wont crown on you for when someone tries forming thicker material. Or tack on a large enough piece across the beams to completely eliminate that all together.

I'm spoiled because the first shop I worked in had a Scotchman Ironworker. Now I'm trying to talk myself into dropping several thousand to get one used.

Probably not quite as nice, but we purchased a used Uni-Hydro about 20 years ago and it was probably 20 years old at the time. Been a pretty solid machine. I believe they are considerably cheaper used than Scotchman

Not all press brake were hydraulic...my dad's Verson ran off a flywheel! Since your dad and I are a similar vintage that was a long time ago! I remember you had to look at the clutch on the flywheel to see if the ram was going to go up or down on the next stroke. Scary as hell! I was in charge of scotch brighting the dies with machine oil. They rusted quick!

Well, now we see the purpose of the Machiney’s Handbook. Figuring out where to bend anything thicker than maybe 20 ga. requires either knowing and applying the formula for that for the different thicknesses and types of metal, or looking up the numbers (and formulas) in there. Otherwise, a bend can be real disappointing. It took me some time, a long time ago to get it reliably correct. You don’t have to bevel that part because you don’t have to weld the inside. Those are just guides. There is almost no force on them other than from the springs pushing them up. The outside welds are more than strong enough. Before welding the center angle to the base, put the thing together and attach all of the dies. Then make sure the center of the dies meet the middle of the angle before welding. I’ve done that on my press and then spot welded it before taking it out and welding it up. Also, be careful that the bottom of the angle just sits on the base before welding. If it doesn’t touch, it can crack at the corner when pressing down hard. Also, check that the posts are really vertical. If they aren’t, you will find that it might jam, or twist when the dies are lowered.

You have the rules of 8 / 10's that along with a press brake tonnage chart will go a log way in safety and clean bends.

I have to be “that guy”. The bottom V is the die, the top part is actually a punch. Although you are not punching holes, the parts, for some reason are still referred to as punches and dies.

Fun fact, you can use the marker system on your shop sabre to mark the bend lines of material Edit, I legit commented this a few seconds before they mentioned it in video 😂
