i wish everyone made videos like you do, no bs talking, fast forward the boring parts.... and below 5 minutes!!! thanks man!

Great instructional video. I just came from a metal brake video where the first six minutes was how to cut 3" squares out of the corners of a piece of sheet metal, and the last three minutes showed how NOT to use a metal brake. Great use of editing and fast motion to convey the info as efficiently as possible. The viewers greatly appreciate you valuing our time. I love how half of the comments love the music and the other half hate it. :-)

I ran brakes for over 20 years, up to a nc 750 ton 24' bed. Able to bend 1/2" hot roll 24' long 90 degrees, this was cool video.

Top of the range workmanship and simply but very effective design. Thanks so much!

Awesome job, looks great.

I have used a shop press and homemade dies myself. Like your design and simplicity. Very good video.

Copied this idea and built one today. Very pleased and works great.

@tlsalt Thanks! The angle is 2"x2"x3/8" and the flat bar that supports it is 3/8"x1-1/2"

Your shows are very detailed and actually show how to do certain things that other videos dont show. Keep up the good work.

Super boulot, et la musique c'est la cerise sur le gâteau, un grand merci et bonne continuation .

I just started thinking about DIY tools and such, and just watched a bunch of video's on how to make, buy kits and this is the best in my opinion. like someone else said concise well edited and I feel like if this was the first vid on this machine I would not need to keep on watching those other ones. you just got my subscription, you rock!

hey thanks, i have just made this for my shop! works great for what i needed!! great job.

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comment! It's a bench top hydraulic press. It has a 30 ton hydraulic cylinder that is run with an air over hydraulic pump (air pressure powers a pump that pumps the hydraulic fluid). I built it in the shop. Maybe I'll make another one and post a video of it.

now this a realy wonderful project...thank you so much!

That's really good man, and you're welding is as good, great to see people doing weld correctly.

nicely done sir! I think I'll make one of these for our blacksmithing shop. We got a few lengths of grader blades sitting around that should work nicely.

That's awesome! And those stitches looked great

Awesome little project I think I might try to make one.

Good work man. Im going to build one for myself. Thanks for posting this.

Muito bom!!! Valeu a dica!! O Brasil agradece!!

Whenever you weld, heat makes the part you're welding shrink causing the piece to contract or deviate from the original position. To square things up, you pull it back by welding on the opposite end. It's also a good idea to heat up the work piece so it doesn't deviate as much, especially on aluminum pieces. Additionally, you can trying heating the piece up with a torch to alleviate any stress points. Hope that helped.

pretty cool, I already went out, measured my press and drew up some plans in CAD. :)

Hi! Thanks for the great video. I've also enjoyed watching (and learning) from the other Metal School video's as well. I would like to make it but I don't know how I would build the bench press that it would fit into. That makes me another guy who would appreciate your making that video (and I'm sure there are many more who would be as appreciative as I would). Thanks again for what you've done and hopefully for the next one!

I love this! Outstanding! I'm going to check out your other video's and see what other cool projects I can find! Very nice!

Very nice welds! Looks good

That was gorgeous

Guess I know what Im making tomorrow. Was going to buy a used one for $80 but after watching this I know I can use the scrap metal sitting in the shop. Thx :)

Nice project and Love the music! Looking forward to see what else you do!

From nothing we make something.... that's the American Way... Great Job!

I really enjoyed this. Thanks for putting more information out there! lots of time and effort for no pay I just cant thank you enough. For others like myself, I need to learn and become familiar with Everything that I can. thank you once again and please keep on making videos! I enjoyed the sped-up video with the music! :)

Good work, & good video....comment from a life long manufacturing engineer.

awesome job thanks for posting... great ideas!

nice design, I need to build one of those.

great work.

Great video, I appreciate as I work in Sheet Metal industry...

Excellent job.. that is amazing machine

It's called a Magnetic Base Drill or "mag-drill". It's basically a miniature (but super strong) drill press that holds to the work with an on-off magnet. The one in the video is a Hougan 904. They are great to drill holes from about 1/2" to 2". I think the 904 is only rated to drill 1-7/8" but I've drill 2" holes with it no problem. The bits are not typical "twist bits" but are similar to a hole saw on steroids.

great demo, thanks....

great mate you are an artist

Thanks. Awesome fast and informative video (LOVE the music too). Genius!

Awesome Job Dude! Nice frigg'n project every welder needs. Thanks -John

Es una verdadera genialidad la forma en que utiliza las herramientas; deseo hacerlo por mi mismo. Gracias por hacerlo fácil. La música invita, ¡Que energía!.

MUCHAS GRACIAS POR TU VALIOSA IDEA

nice work

great job

Nice job, nice job, nice job.

Grrr! I am so jealous! I miss doing all this kind of 'if you need it, make it' stuff... I miss my work shop. Bah! Thanks for the vid - nice job!

Thanks for sharing.

I want to use my powerarc and make one of these. Very cool video.

nice...thanks for sharing!

What is the name of the magnets that you use to fit perfect the 2 tubes? The red ones!!

It did the job! Nice.

I think you did a great job , would know off hand the size of the metal you used i sure would like to build one like you . rob

Great job!!!!!!

Thats pretty nice. Giving me a push to do one too :) Thanks man!!! Great Job!!!

Nice video. Thanks for respecting viewers by fast forwarding when appropriate and not wasting time and getting the key info out quickly.

I wish I had scrap like that lying around!!!

Very good, congratulations.

Genio muy bueno ..desde Argentina.

That was epic! Thank you.

I just ordered my Everlast welder on Friday and a press brake will be the second thing I weld together. A welding cart will be the first.

YOU THE MAN !!!!!!!! I DIG IT.

cinco estrelas , obrigado por partilhar

What would you charge ($$) to build and ship one of these??

good job on that bro!

I really like the video i think it's very useful keep posting

very cool!

very nice

Really cool! GOod work good video. TY!

I 'm going to be making me a press brake like that today,have all the steel to reproduce it to a T :) In fact going to make a smaller one with smaller radius dies first. then larger one with about an 1/8" radius for thicker material.

I want to weld one up with my powerarc welder. What thickness steel are you using and what size bottle jack should I be using to bend 12" x 1/4" plate steel?

Great video, editing was key.

very nice...

الله ينور بجد

buen trabajo

awesome vid

Love you're weave boy, going to have to keep an eye on you.

Awesome got to make me one of those

fantastic

how do you know when its 90 degrees?

How do you get the bottom of the top die angled to fit??? Do you grind it, mill it? Can you use another piece of angle iron for the top die ass well??

What kind of steel did you use for the V ? HSS ?

Awesome! !

VERY GOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDD! THE METAL SCHOOL!!!!!

Buen día me encantó la máquina muy buena tendrás medidas ya que si me permitís voy a hacerme una

Great video, fantastic press brake! Well Done! - Love the music!! :-)

First time viewing your channel. Very nice video. Great idea for scrap

Nice video Daniel. Please tell me what did you use to mill the holes.

Awesome

Great job, I want to build one. What size Angle and flat bar did you use?

if you set the bottom v block in a channel it tends to strengthen your job some more

Hi,what do you call that 3 pcs of red magnet you used to make a perfect 90 degree, l want those. Thanks!!!!! Great job.

Excellent. What kind of drill press is that?

What did you use for press force?

Nice job mate, what did you use to produce the pressure to bend power?

What do you do when you want a 45° angle ?

hot damn!!! thats one dandy tool their! your a beast!

does that bottom dye wear out? or are you using tempered material?

Great job I just bought a 50 ton park Industries Hydrosplit which is a Rock splitter for $50 at a flea market I'm going to convert it into a PRESS brake / bender It weighs 377 lbs ..Nice job
