These plans are for a small home shop press brake.
This press brake is small-shop size, makes
those clean, sharp bends in sheet metal
that will delight the eye of a craftsman who
has had to improvise methods of bending.
It takes light sheet metals up to 17 in. wide.
The hold-down blade moves at an angle of
45 deg. to the bed and adjusts automatically
to the thickness of the materials to be bent.
The blade is slotted to provide the clearances
necessary to permit raising, in successive
steps, ½-in. flanges on the four sides
of the work, as in forming a box or tray,
radio chassis, motor base, or similar work.
A retractable stop at the 90-deg. position
permits the operator to make repetitive
right-angle bends. The throat opens to 5/16
in. to admit flanged parts.
All main parts except the table, or base,
are made from cold-rolled stock.
