This series has come out at the perfect time for me as I’m currently looking at options. The Swag Off-road gear is pretty good too but, this attachment looks to be the best quality I’ve seen so far. Your upgrades are perfect for consistent repeatability. Your video presentation and format are spot on too. Clear methodical and easy to follow. Love your work!
Great job! Simple. Effective. Love it. I see room for improvement! Overtime the cyclic forces on the frame can cause fatigue failures in the welds. You should disassemble for painting because it would look slick. While the frame is bare you can add some knee braces in the top crossbar like you did in the bottom crossbar then go a step further and add some plates to “box in” the whole sides of all the channels. There isn’t much there in the webs of those channels so adding side plates creates a double box section which is considerably stiffer. Add a custom logo or name it with some lettering with your cnc table! “When it’s Built not Bought, it’s Custom not Cost’em”
Definitely going on my future build list. Between the plasma cutter and the press brake, a great combo. I have the Hypertherm PM 65 on my PlasmaCAM table, and a 30in shear/brake/roller. Working on a 2x72 belt grinder among other things. Your build is very logical and impressive doing a full 0.1875 width mild steel bend with that quality. Keep the vids coming.
Box your C iron on both sides, that should eliminate the deflection your getting. PS I'm very impressed with the things you are doing, engineering and fabricating. Keep it up, everything should pay off for you if it hasn't already.
Ratha, Great Video Brother! I am starting the Build of my Ratha Sochenda Press Brake W.I.Y. Kit very soon. I just got a new MiG Machine on Saturday, and I think the only thing I’m still waiting on to show up is the Press Brake Tool from Cyclops. I am gonna go ahead and start getting my Steel Cut and Welded up, and everything else installed as far as I can til it shows up.
Now I know this suggestion sounds crazy, but maybe taking a micro stepper and attaching it to the adjustment screw that way you can set your depth of plunge with numerical control as well. Could be a good addition.., 🤷🏾♂️ After enough trial and error you can have a really consistent chart of bends for all common materials and lengths

Thanks appreciate it!
Thanks Ratha, doing recon on retrofitting my press. You’ve captured all the features on my wish list.
Cheers!
Glad it helped 👍
Excellent press brake. We shared this video (and the first two parts) on our homemade tools forum last week. 😎
Thanks hoped it help

Awesome series! Thanks for sharing! 🙌👊
🙏🏽
This series is great! It’s amazing seeing your thought process and your work. The full length bends and your repeatability are 🔥
🙏🏽
By far the best Press Brake build on TH-cam. Do your plans include the new design yet?
Yes it’s all been updated per my website.

Good job, nicely detailed this set up is perfectly explained 👌 definitely interested in building this.
Thanks 🙏🏽

Just wrapping up my own custom Cnc plasma table. This is next up
Sweet!
