    Highly underrated tool. I made a radius upper die for mine by welding a piece of 1" dia round cold rolled to a block of 3/4x3 flat bar. Made a gooseneck die by laminating 1/4 thick steel cut on the plasma. Have even done some sketchy stuff on a raised lower die to get tight z-bend offsets. I've bent 1/2 x 4 to 90 deg on mine without issue. Stout and simple, easy to customize, great bit of kit for the shop. I built mine on a cart with a bottom shelf that holds hydraulic tools like bottle jacks and my power puller, and a higher shelf that sits under the crossbar and holds things that go with the press brake.

    I have the same press 10 years old now . I also built a solid break about 8 years ago ..not as wide as that the best thing I did was replace the factory jack on the press and put one of there air over hydraulic jacks on it had to change the base where the jack bolts to the press but was worth the work ,, saves on time running the jack I don't work due to a injury at work but still putter in my shop when I am up to it ,, like I was saying the air jack is faster too close the gap ,, time is money .. I will need to get the finger brake soon there has been times I could have used it ..

    I've had mine awhile and still need to get around to welding it up. One great tool for the fixture table is fellow youtuber Fireball Tool's Shim kit, it's great for doing things like aligning that tubing. I was debating putting the angle iron into my mill and using a fly cutter to get a sharper corner but the idea of stacking angle means I could do this anytime. It would help to read the instructions I guess, lol.

    Looks like a nice little entry level press brake. Just thinking watching the video if the channel portion on the bottom die was a little deeper one could tack on a length of 1/2" 1018 or even 4140 PH round bar for a nicely radiused wear edge, less scarring on the end product.

    • @cuskit
      @cuskit ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello John - hey, could you post a video (or a link to some photos) of how you modified your setup to accommodate the 4 way die? I have a 24" 4 way die along with both this Swag finger brake as well as their 30" HD finger brake (for use on my 50ton, electric over hydraulic Redline press). I welded a flat bar to the top of a smaller angle iron and place it in my 30" brake, but wondered if there is a better solution. I've thought of welding up a 1/2" flat bar with vertical rods/springs similar, but without the U-channel and welded angle iron as a base for the 4way die.Thanks for any reply! mikey

    • @johnw4590
      @johnw4590 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Metallic Sawdust I first cut a 3/8" ar400 plate to fit the press so it doesn't slide out. Have to tip it up on one side to remove it. Then I (never welded) the angle inside the Swag off road finger press brake.. just rest the 4 way die inside.. the 4way die rests inside almost self centers . Eventually, I am going to build a new bottom.. with 3/8" plate and square bar.. but it works great for bending 1/4" steel plate etc. Also I welded the round stock supplied with the Swag off road kit higher in on the finger brake end.. so there is more room to slip the material between the fingers and 4way die. Hope that helps

  • @Pilinchi1
    @Pilinchi1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    @ your comment at 15:30.... All standard angle iron are 90 degrees. The reason you got more than 90 degree on your first bend is because the angle iron is very large and the die is very narrow so the object bend past 90 degree as it had nothing pressing the sides against the angle iron.

  • @mrmidnight32
    @mrmidnight32 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    The reason that collar was sparking is because it’s a Chinese made piece. It’s either a cheap bi metal or it’s just the sub standard Chinese steel that’s got more filler than carbon in it which keeps costs down. Gatta watch out a lot of US metal supplies buy this metal too. Not all steel is the same.

  • @melgross
    @melgross 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What I found with mine is that the dies are not hard. Generally this doesn’t matter. But if you’re bending something narrow but thick, as their specs say you can do, you dent the die. These are not barely seen dents, but real dents. They don’t affect wide bends, but it shouldn’t be happening. I’m trying to remember without going and finding the manual, but I think they say the dues are 4041. That’s fine if they’re hardened and tempered, but it’s not all that hard if they’re not.
    Also, be careful about over bending. It tough to get a true 90 degree bend. I take a thin piece that I know it 90 degree. Then I slightly open the press and put this in and check the bend.I also machine and stack smaller angle to get tighter bends. But they’re soft too, so narrow material will dent them as well.

    Everything done in this video as far as weld quality and toolkng ideas works great for the at home garage fabricator doing work on a budget. The "press brake" here is only good for one size of metal though and to use smaller sizes of angle to press other metal thickness just wont work the same as an actual press brake. Bottom die has to mstch the metal thickness being broke in the press. Thenbottom die is calculated byetal thickness being formed times 8. Hence 1/8" metal thickness times 8 equals 1" base die opening. In all fairness this is a great home garage press brake setup.

    On the press break, the black arbor plates that come with the machine will break - so grab a couple extra (or make them - either 1/2" to 1" thick steel (2 halves make a 1)).
    They will break when you need them then you are out of luck.

    @dusanmatkovic495 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I can write one recommendation. What is the width of V die ? The best way to calculate which V die is the best. So that the thickness of the material, if it is bent 2mm thick, x 8 - 10 so that the width V die = 16mm.
    If the V die is, for example, 16mm wide, and you bend the thickness of the material 4mm, you will damage the upper punch tool.
    If the V die is wide, you will get a large radius.

    What we’re some of the amps?
    I was welding a ring that was 1.25” OD. The hieght was like 3/4@, I was welding some 7/8” OD tubing .120”. I was welding putting the 120 amps towards the thick ring and melting into the tubing.
    Seemed close. What yah think?

    Hi I have been tig welding for many a moon now and if I had a dollar for every time I've cleaned mill scale I'd be broke . It's just something I have never done And to my knowledge none of my jobs have returned or failed due to contamination . Nor do I clean aluminum or stainless for that matter . I just weld it and piss it off out the door. That includes garbage trucks tanks for the mining industry . Fame proofed forklifts .One thing I notice how ever Mr porosity may come to visit on mild steal sometimes then after I grind it out and do it again it 's ok but that is rare
