My DIY press brake and shop press

Aug 13, 2006 2 Replies

Good morning! :-)



Upon request of some gents here, I have made photos of my shop press and press brake. The press has 10 tons, and used an old cylinder I loooong ago used for body work. I have built this press some years ago, when I found a really interesting concept of bending sheet metal. It replaces the vee die with a polyurethane bar. This solution is very interesting for fine work, because it doesn't scratch the work and is simpler than making your own vee die and hardening it.

If you have questions, feel free to ask. I'll have a beer now, because pubs don't close at 11 here. :-P

Don't remember who it was, but someone asked for clarifying pictures while bending sheet metal. Did that.
