Homemade Hydraulic Press Brakes

I needed brakes to use with the products I make for our metal shop.  It was much more inexpensive to make them myself so they were exactly what I needed.  I already had the steel and the springs.  The only investment was the smallest jack. The top picture is a press brake I made to bend some of the things I make for our metal shop.  I use it to bend bookends mostly.  The middle picture is the unfinished second brake that is painted in the last picture.  I use this one to bend our napkin holders for the shop.  I have bent 10 and 14 gauge metal so far with them.

  4. An fascinating discussion is value comment. I think that it is best to write extra on this matter, it won’t be a taboo topic however generally people are not enough to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers car mechanic brandon
