I built this press brake in my personal shop. Some key features:

• Adjustable hydraulic jack locations jacks slide sidetoside for optimal positioning dependent on work piece thickness and width
• Spring compensated and adjustable gauge rods for consistent and accurate repeat bends. Compression springs prevent damage to the gauge system in the event that the stop point is accidentally exceeded
• Upper and lower bending dies built from cold rolled 1018 for a typically higher material hardness than the workpiece
• Bottom die assembly that uses two 1.5 inch diameter cold rolled solid round rods
• Bending die will be cut into fingers to allow for box and pan bending operations
• Hydraulic jacks plumbed together for simultaneous operation but can also be operated individually for level adjustment
• I opted to use two 20 ton air over hydraulic jacks
• Adaptable, adjustable, modular, and easily repairable design utilizing minimal welding of components onto the main frame
