SWAG 40″ Press Brake DIY Builder Kit

Press brake kit comes unassembled, you do the final assembly and welding.

You asked for it… & here it is.

Constructed out of high strength 3/8″ steel with a 1.0″ x 4.0″ thick top die and 3.0″ wide bottom die.

This 40″ press brake kit will bend steel up to 37.5″ wide and is designed to fit in hydraulic presses that are at least 40″ wide between the vertical beams, however it kit can easily be cut down or modified to accommodate smaller presses.

Note: the max bending width and thicknesses are determined upon your hydraulic press and thus actual numbers are dependent upon your press. But with ample tonnage and proper support, this brake will bend up to 1/4″ of A-36 steel full width. We recommend 40 tons; (2) 20 ton jacks spaced evenly works great.

Tools required for assembly: welder, grinder, level, small square.

Note: The springs provided with the kit are not intended to fully lift the top die. They are just to assist with assembly. We recommend adding extension spring from the top of your press frame to assist in lifting the top assembly.
