A lovely Sunday afternoon watch! I’m not sure why so many people over complicate these presses, yours is spot on cheers

I built this exact brake from your idea, bends 1/8 beautifully. Thanks!!

Niiiice! This is exactly the video I imagined in my little brain before searching. Spot on perfect. I’m only bending 1/8” on a table top press from Harbor freight. Basically your setup scales down. I was scoring my bend on the inside then hammering it over, but this will eliminate that step. Thank you good sir.

I just have done the metal bender and instead of the press, I did use the threaded rod. I am not strong enough to bent 3/8 piece but I can bend 4' 1mm thick sheet with ease! Great video by the way!

I bought the 20 ton compressor jack at HF and i love it compared to pumping all day - was only 99.00 and you get alot more power.

Thanks for the video mate, a side note for the bottom section, if you shimmed up either side of the 2 angle pieces before welding you would create an angle less than 90. 89 or 88 is preferred, then you can bend to a true 90.

@firewoodwarrior4396 2 жыл бұрын

Do you mean to shim up the outsides of the angle iron?

@buxybuilt1519 2 жыл бұрын

@@firewoodwarrior4396 yep, could slip a length of 2mm thick sheet/flat bar under the outsides of both sections of angle before welding. You’d have to then modify the top arbor to be less than 90 also, or just use a single length of 1/2” plate with beveled edges like a traditional press brake.

2:45 i'd recommend tacking both sides of something before putting much weld on...or if not, then weld the ends first. if you put too much heat on one side, even with clamps it can still warp a bit.

Great video. If you want 90 degree bends you need to make the vee slightly less than 90 to allow for spring back. Or take your portable swing press to it to complete the bend.

@scottybabb6297 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Tyler, thanks for a great video. If you wanted to, couldn't you create a finger press with different sized top pieces? Could you make different sized bottom parts with smaller angle iron to work with smaller pieces of metal? I feel like you've hit on something here, but you've only scratched the surface.

@scottybabb6297 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Tyler, when measuring and marking your steel to bend, is there a trick to getting it right?

@johnzink3309 Жыл бұрын

@joekelley1014 3 жыл бұрын

Would putting a sharper edge on the angle iron you are using to bend the 3/8" plate (or thinner) give a better 90 degree angle? SWAG's dies look like they have a real sharp angle, almost like a knife edge. Does the angle need to be hardened? (I just got a 20 ton HF press). Thanks!

Are you able to order your metal and get it shipped or do you have to go ever so often and pick up a load? Hey I have a need to roll one long side of a 24 " x 6" x 1/8" plate. I need a 1" radius and it offsets 2 inches exactly if it were laying flat on the table measuring the L part sticking strait up. I bet with piece of 2 inch pipe split open and reinforced I could make like a stamp like you have your Vee and bend the metal I need?

@mordecaiepsilon 4 жыл бұрын

If you make the die a bit deeper you can do what's called "air bending" instead of bottoming out in the die, that way you can do angles equal to and less than 90. Cool setup.

Since you said it takes some extra effort to bend that steel. You should go to harbor freight and buy a air jack and swap into that press.

Thanks Kenny. I think it’s a Steelmax. That is what is called a “dry cut” chopsaw. Spins at a lower rpm and uses a metal blade. It cuts so smooth and creates virtually no heat
