Thanks for doing this video. I've been looking at one of these for our shop. My question is can the dies be split into smaller segments for doing things like boxes?
The upper die, yes, the bottom die, no its only held on the very end because it can rotate for different die openings. The upper die is two pieces so what I do is spread the upper die apart to do corners. I talked to Bailegh about purchasing a second upper die just to cut up, but they come as a set upper and lower and havent purchased one yet.
I’m buying a used one this weekend I’m going to test it out before I buy. I want to do 90 on a 1/4x4 copper piece you know what are the parameter or the y set up
On the 2" die opening for .25" material I set the Y at .36 for steel. You may want to not go that deep for copper right off the bat, probably dont want to over bend it and each machine may have some slight differences. You may already know but if you dont that Y measurement is the distance from the center of the bottom of the die to where the top die theoretically stops so to bend it less the Y number needs to be larger.
Thank You so much. I’m a metal fab teacher and we just bought one of these. Anxiously waiting on delivery lol.
Had one at a shop. We used the crap out of it! Was a wonderful machine and mind blowing for the price.
Picked a pretty good machine. A lot can be done with the right tooling and programming
Nice press brake dude! Very cool tool.
Thanks 👍
thank you for teaching

I just ordered this brake, can you tell me ...does the hyraulic oil come filled or in 5 gal buckets, or do i need to get that on my own? Thanks
It comes filled.
