Finger dies.
1,2 and 3" wide dies. Gives somewhat enough possibilities to mix needed widht.
10mm plate with 20mm x 20mm bar on both sides.
Dies are placed between bars and secured with M8 bolts.
Intentionally too long bolts, i like its easier to tighten/ loosen over long bolts with ratched.
Dies are also 10mm plate. Bending edge is grinded to 45 degree angle from both sides and slightly rounded, to avoid deep marks on workpiece.
