Die for bending in hydraulic press

[andyg0141]

I’m looking to use my hydraulic bench press to bend some flat bar from time to time. Nothing fancy, maybe up to 50x5 and to 90deg.

What should I be looking for to do this? Assume there must be something off the shelf…but I cant find the right words to search for Thanks!

Press brake
It's been discussed recently on here.

Stuff you have made today

Just for completeness I did a video too :) I am really pleased I have been able to build this :thumbup: Thanks again for all the support I have had from the forum and its kind members over the last 7 months :hug:

look into the swag press brake it uses angle iron and to make it smaller just use smaller angle iron piled on top of one another
