I’m buying a used one this weekend I’m going to test it out before I buy. I want to do 90 on a 1/4x4 copper piece you know what are the parameter or the y set up
On the 2" die opening for .25" material I set the Y at .36 for steel. You may want to not go that deep for copper right off the bat, probably dont want to over bend it and each machine may have some slight differences. You may already know but if you dont that Y measurement is the distance from the center of the bottom of the die to where the top die theoretically stops so to bend it less the Y number needs to be larger.
Thanks for doing this video. I've been looking at one of these for our shop. My question is can the dies be split into smaller segments for doing things like boxes?
The upper die, yes, the bottom die, no its only held on the very end because it can rotate for different die openings. The upper die is two pieces so what I do is spread the upper die apart to do corners. I talked to Bailegh about purchasing a second upper die just to cut up, but they come as a set upper and lower and havent purchased one yet.
@@TabooCustoms The bottom die can be cut into segments. I will have a bar along the length that keeps the group in line and allow removal and flip quickly by hand. Just keep in mind your ram #s before each use. The upper die is already cut into smaller segments as well. Great machine.
Had one at a shop. We used the crap out of it! Was a wonderful machine and mind blowing for the price.
Thank You so much. I’m a metal fab teacher and we just bought one of these. Anxiously waiting on delivery lol.
How did it work out? Would you recommend this brake?
@@nordicwilly6650 We had a few glitches but it’s working really well now. Customer service isn’t the greatest. TH-cam was a good source.
@@TUONOv4 Many thanks. I am bit worried about customer service, but good to see you worked it out
@ Yes, after a few glitches, it’s an amazing machine.
Picked a pretty good machine. A lot can be done with the right tooling and programming
Nice press brake dude! Very cool tool.
Thanks 👍

@@TUONOv4 Do you have a picture of your setup on the bottom It would be nice to be able to quickly change. Can email dave@taboocustoms.com Thanks
I just ordered this brake, can you tell me ...does the hyraulic oil come filled or in 5 gal buckets, or do i need to get that on my own? Thanks
It comes filled.
thank you for teaching
