Heavy Duty Press Brake

Roughly 2 years ago I worked at an environmental waste water treatment company as a fabricator. We had roll-off tanks that needed to be fixed. After sending out 4x8 foot sheets of 3/16" steel to be bent in a curve at another shop, I got sick of waiting, the sheets came back with the absolute wrong bend in them, and I convinced the owner to have us set up our own tooling to be able to do this in house.You can see here the sheet is nowhere near the wall of the tank at the top edge. It's a good 4 inches away from it which made an immense amount of work for the other fabricator and I to position and weld the sheet in place.
