DIY Press Brake - How To Build A Press Brake
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.พ. 2020
- Like many of my DIY tools, I'm doing a project that requires me to bend 90 degree corners and while I do have a small HR metal brake, I find that it doesn't produce great corners. So I decided to build a hydraulic press brake with a 20 ton bottle jack.
Where to purchase a few of the parts I used.

Great and simple design I'm going to make one myself really useful tool for a fabricator.
Nice work! I like these videos.
Glad you like them! Thanks
Haha over here in Massachusetts just getting out of the 50's and its june
I could probably handle the 50's...for a little bit
Good Project. Save your arm and get a air over hydraulic 20 ton jack. I got mine a HF and bend a lot of 1/4" HRS. Thanks
Thanks for the tip!
Для таких заготовок можно домкрат с меньшим усилием. Будет быстрее опускаться и подниматься.
Great video. Gonna have to make that!
It has been a great addition to the shop
I love it....
Thanks
Love it Doug! A bottle jack press will actually be our next TH-cam video too but we’re using it for squishing plastic into moulds and maybe bookbinding 👍🏼 great stuff dude
That's excellent! I want to try and press shapes in sheet metal. Next I'll build some dies to see if I can make that work. I like the book binding idea. I saw Diresta's book making video and now i really want to make one myself
Very cool shop project. Great job and great tips for when I need to build one. See you in a few days. Bring you Poncho.
Thanks Chad! Unfortunately I'm not going to be at WBC this year. Saving for a bigger trip this summer to Spain with hopes of hitting the Catskill Maker Camp in October
Nice project!!!
thanks a ton!
Awesome video Doug. It was -23 here this week. Stay warm my friend😉
Yikes! That's way too cold for my desert bones :)
Man I'm lucky (am I really though?) that I work at Harbor Freight! At $25 (with my discount) for a 12 ton bottle jack and MAYBE $50 in steel I'm about to build a better shop press than the ones HF sells for a third of the price. No more janky bending with my hand seamer! I also used one of Harbor Freight's ventilator fans to build the fume extraction system shown in another video. Thanks again for the how-to's!!!
Doug , Great Video as ALWAYS. It's 26 ° here , we are having a Heat Wave , Compared to the Last Couple of days!!! I would LOVE to have a 50° Day 🤣🤣👍
Haha yeah I would not survive long if I lived further north :)
Once again Doug you have just made me shake my head and have a smile on my face. To take scrap and make something you will need and use is just brilliant. Great work Doug. And congrats on the high number of subscribers you are getting. Keep it up.
Thanks DJ! Keeping scrap is a blessing and a curse. Sometimes I feel like my shop is becoming a junkyard. Luckily I have a project coming up that may deplete some of what I have in stock....and make room for more stuff :) haha
Super duper cool Doug... Love the stop block idea!!
Thanks Joe
Great job! Thank you for sharing.
you got it! thanks for watching!
That's a great job with awesome step by step tips for anyone to build one. Yesterday it was -3 here so we're glad you survived your 50 degrees.😁
I honestly don't know how people do it every year. I would freeze to death walking to my car and become a frozen Doug statue haha
Thanks Doug _ great job. You’ve given me some wonderful ideas to build me press brake as well and keep it simple !
Excellent glad I could help
Thanks for the video Doug. Nice job on the press.
Thanks Colin!
Great video, I love how you point out how you change/ modify it as you go
Thank you! I think its important to show the whole process when possible
Hello from Yuma
Very well explained video
Thanks and keep the videos coming
Hello there Jonathan, thanks for watching
Quick and easy, gets it done. Nice
thanks so much Allen
Excellent addition to the shop!!! Nice job, and your editing skills perfect!!!
Cool thanks
I wish I made my edge removable like this so I can redress it after I mess up the edge bending round bar. This is another cool project
Ah man weld 1/4 flat bar on the sides of the top it'll stiffen up. But you knew that
I like the build man, the little details add up to a well thought out and highly functional machine.
it has earned its spot in my shop three fold already. Already working on other attachments
I need to make one! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Red, its already come in very handy.
Nice job Doug!! I have been wanting to do something like that for awhile now.
haha yeah me too! I finally had a project that really needed it
Great looking brake Doug! and good ideas for not loosing any parts (inc the yellow paint) 👍 👍
Thanks my friend! Hope all is going well for you. It was a much needed addition to the shop
Hey Doug! Really enjoyed the video. I’m sure you have many savvy followers on here but I figured I’d throw a tip in if you haven’t already been told. I work as a foreman for a structural steel company out of MA. I usually do all of the press brake work, we have a 1940’s - 1950’s era 10’ 200 ton Cleveland brake that’s capable of bending up to 10’ of 1/4” and 5’ of 1/2” if you really give it the business. Anyways, I saw your issue with the back gauge as you were saying for smaller bends you wouldn’t be able to use it because it wouldn’t get close enough. We don’t have a back gauge in ours so we made two little shelves that we can stretch a piece of angle iron across on. If we’re doing small bend (for example a 3/4” outside bend on a piece of 1/8”. Standard practice being that your bottom die is 8x the width of your material thickness so a 1” die / 1/2” from bend line to edge of the landing leaving 1/8” of overhang with respect to material thickness) we will often times throw a little 2” or so piece of material onto our shelves so it can extend on to the top of the back landing of the die. Since you have that little piece of angle as your stop, it may be worthwhile to add in one or two more of those back gauges, bend a 2”x4” piece of angle out of 20 gage and clamp it to the back gage so you can extend beyond the back face of the channel. Just make sure the leg that’s being used as a stop is consistent throughout. If you have a 1/16” variance from end to end it’s going to show in the work piece. Also if you have 3 stops you can expand into working with cuts that are cupped or have a crown (it’s more common than you’d think on thinner pieces of material, 16 gage and under). Sorry for rambling and making a mountain out of a mole hill! Cool build and if you’d like some more little tips, or you’d like me to draw out what I’m talking about for you, feel free to let me know. Hope you’re well, stay safe and keep at it!
Thanks for the info Robert! That totally makes sense, I'll have to try that on mine
Nice build.
I want to build something just like this for pressing bearings and stuff. Thanks man.
I've wanted a press brake for a while and finally had a project that required it...seemed like it was time
You remind of Donal Logue who plays bullock in gotham... plus nice work in the shop🖒
I had to look him up, but I totally can see that
Niiiiiiice 👍👍👍👍
Great build! I need to make something like this so i can bend some 5/16" brass rod for some of my projects👌🏻
It has come in so handy
Pretty neat, it's interesting what you can do with bottle jacks. If I need one, I could buy it at one of our TSC Stores/Peavey Marts in Canada. They have a shelf full of bottle jacks.
Cool
it was cool how you had things cut to size then hand assembled the parts
the Insert idea for 45's is great
may I suggest you radius your 90* cut corners for a nicer look
Great Build - thumbs up / subbed
'gonna see what else you've made
Thanks for the sub Gary
💯
Very well done and explained ...can u let us know the link to that cool digital protractor
Here's a link for the digital angle finder amzn.to/3a9Nmbs
FYI, last night here, -12. 50 degree, hahahahahahaa. I feel your pain.
Thanks for the video! This will be my next project. How did you get the knife edge on the blade?
I just used my angle grinder with a 80 grit flap wheel
Sir, good evening. Can i ask question. May i know what type of tention spring did you used n where to buy?
Hey Doug, like the build, doesn't the ram typically taper to a blunt edge for a brake? I guess it works anyway. It's cold like that here in Florida as well. 🥶
Yes it does. I may have edit that out for some reason but I beveled the edge as opposed to it being flat

Great video. I will be building one of these. IG MF REFAB
Go for it!
