Great video! It’s rare to find a video without knife dies being used. You’re right there’s not a lot of sheet metal bending videos out there. When I first started to looking for instructional videos I wanted to find one on figuring out bend deductions on different materials and laying out the sheet before bending. I think that would help a lot of new fabricators

Nice work Adam. I use to make oil skimmers, most were Stainless sheetmetal but did do some Aluminum. Sadly, didn't have a press brake. My bender was a WWII 8 foot long bender. Had to make parts to make it operational. She worked well on 18g SS up to about 5 feet. But sometimes had to bend 12g SS at about 3 feet. That took an 8 foot long cheater bar on the handle. Thankfully didn't do much of that. Thanks very much for sharing. Hope you pick back up your videos soon.

I’m going through sheet metal school your videos are very helpful please make more

hello. The explanations are great, I wish it had been like that when they explained to me I am a press brake operator for 16 years and I tell them if when they taught me they would have explained it that way it would have been great but not only did they tell you here it is the pressure for the angle, dimension and tonnage, thanks for these videos keep going, but a slight detail do not do that of hitting die with die because even if they are hardened the dies degrade, the hardness is only 5 to 7 thousandths, and for For example, you have a die with a radius of .008 or .015, they are fine and to make them like this, hitting a die with a die with tonnage is bad because it ruins the radius instead of being .015, it becomes .024 to .032 and there are jobs that deal with fine dies and then they have to buy others just to center the die, the dies run into each other and with the minimum of tonnage, it is only one point and I say this so that the tool lasts, they are not ours, but they are our tools of work as operators #amadapressbrake #cincinnatipressbrake #accurpresspressbrake #durmanpressbrake #thrumpspressbrake

Nice video! Keep ‘em up!

What a legend. Keep it up, gonna take over the world.

If there are high surface finish requirements when edge bending/press brake, the Swedish product Tribotextil™ can be applied in the bending/pressing tool and mechanically protect the sheet metal from scratches and other damages. Tribotextil™ is an extremely thin and very strong textile that in this process replaces lubricants in the tool.

Great videos. Im a draftsman in an aluminum fab shop and would like to be able to incorporate bending programs into our shop drawings. Could you make a video describing exactly how you make you bending templates/programs? Cheers - J

Awesome video 👍 Where did you buy those level things infront of the machine you put the material on when you bend. I dont know the english word 😂

Thanks for the video, is there a way to go single mode where the pedal controls it down slowly till you release it , when you just want to bend one part, actually just got my new unit this week, hope to get it fired up today!

Nice video Are you going to do bend angle setup to die and punch setup in the near future Adam

Please how to choice different you for different angles

Hi adam is there a way to control how much preassure is put in each bend or is there only one set strenght in every machine ?

hi adam, thanks for your video. what is yp? it is not clear to me. is the distance that the punch will advance downwards from when it starts to work at "slow" speed. If I put a very high value in a small v, will the press advance until it breaks the multi v mold?

When you touch those buttons I freak out a bit. They look weak for industrial use. How much does one of the panels cost to replace? Can you access it by USB instead? If so, is the software to do so open source (in case the company goes broke and/or just stops supporting it at some point in the future)? Do you get any extra panels with the machine?

Hello Adam. how you know YP value for each angle? have any formula or only try and repeat?
