SWAG 50″ Finger Press Brake DIY Builder Kit

Press brake kit comes un-assembled, 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. The kit is shipped with fingers in the following sizes, 1″, 2″, 3″, 4″, 9.5″, 11.8″ & 17.7″ long dies.

The top die clamping bar is machined out of massive 2″x3″ solid block of 4140 chromoly steel to help handle the increased bending width compared to our 40″ press brake kit.

This 50″ finger press brake kit will bend steel up to 49″ wide and is designed to fit in hydraulic presses that are at least 52″ wide between the vertical beams, however it 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 60 tons; (3) 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.
