Is the back stop removable? Looking at the pictures it looks like it may be bolted on, am I seeing the right? Would be nice if it was removeable for storage.

Correct, the back stop and two guide rails can be unbolted with two 1/2" nuts.

How wide is the V die opening?

1.75" opening which makes a nice tight bend in the metal you are bending. If I were to use a larger opening you would be able to bend thicker metal, however this press brake is designed for the guy bending up tabs and brackets up to 1/4" thick in the shop and looking for a nice tight bend radius.

Any chance in making a 2 or 2.5" die?

how much for the kit shipped to 60517 and where do i send money?

bignissan · 11-15-2010, 05:32 PM

I'm not endorsing this, but I just bent 5/16" x 4" to 90*. The bend turned out great, but I was sure nervous doing it. I'd say the max I would even try is 3/8" x 4", but that's pushing it and you may not get a full 90*

If they made a 2.5" V die you could do ~6" of 3/8
A 3" V die would allow ~8" of 3/8 and full width 1/4" (19")

I'm not saying no to your request, however give me a couple weeks to test this out. It requires a several new parts which we will need to source, draw up and have laser cut.

Anyone else looking to bend 3/8" plate?

Thanks man, I'm not really looking to bend 3/8 but i do have a ~16" bend in 1/4 that i need to do.

I'll be ordering this kit and then if you wanna just let me know on the price for a wider V die that would be great. If its to much of a hassle i understand i can get some one else to do these bends.

Mikes79bronco · 11-17-2010, 03:19 PM

Just ordered it, Can you ship ASAP?

bignissan · 11-17-2010, 03:33 PM

3/8" plate would be a nice limit. I think you could do a wider jaw to allow for 3/8 and people can easily fab spacers or something if they need a tighter bend.

I should be able to get the kit out in the mail tomorrow. If not it will go out on Friday.

Thanks again for the order.

With this kit you can bend steel and have a professional look about it.

If your still using a torch and a bench vise to bend steal check out this video.
