  • Here are some upgrades that I made to my SWAG Off Road press brake kit. Hopefully these tips and tricks will help you get more from your tool. Swag makes another great tool to maximize harbor freight tools.
    Here is a link to an air over hydraulic cylinder you can use to upgrade your press: amzn.to/3DHRUFA
    If you use the link above to purchase a cylinder, I will receive a small commission for your purchase, thank you for your support of the channel.

    Hey man! Thanks for the tips....Love the pins trick, that's a new one for me and I'm gonna try it for sure! I made myself a 40 ton press a few years ago (got a video on it on my channel if you..) and I made the same setup of multiple angles to have different bend radius, but I made my angles with flatbars at 80° to counter the spring back and be able to bend past that 90°. But you're using only 90° angle right? Do you have to make a lot of plasma notches on the parts to reduce the spring back? I'm curious to know how you achieved a nice 90° ?! Hey sorry for the long comment, I'm not a big fan when poeple writes to me long comments and now I wrinting one! 😅

      😂 I actually have to be careful, somehow the 90 deg angle with bend past 90 sometimes, which doesn't make any sense...

    Pretty interesting for sure, last shop I was in we had a prototype precision sheet metal area and the last 6 months or so that the shop was open I worked in that area on top of being a modelmaker overall, and it is interesting to learn all that stuff and challenging as well, most of our stuff was about 16-18 gauge but did work on stuff as thick as 1/8", mostly aluminum, and it was on a accupress cnc pressbrake sat up manually and also a way older hydro-mechanical press brake as well. Now I am a tool maker for a well known company in Milwaukie that went originally with the last part of its name as industries until 2017 and now goes by automotive and industries is over in Clackamas. Mainly running a CNC mill larger than the one you had in your old home shop lol.

    Awsome-sauce! Why doesn't someone make this exact setup?? 99% of us just need to bend small parts 1/4" thk or less.

      U-Tube video suggests that 4 pieces of 1/4" angle are used.
      2-1/2"
      2"
      1-1/2"

      I think about 3in. But, if you made longer top punches, or extensions, you could get taller.

    • @motomule
      @motomule  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Excellent question! I mostly use them to locate the bend not make the bends easier.

      @@motomule if thats the case you should consider only doing one relief cut per bend, to cut down on pierces. those wear our your consumables faster
