Attachment 27426
Allows to bend max 310mm wide 5mm sheets with 15mm radius.
Material is 10mm thick steel plate, valve springs from a truck and machine steel (SBQ) for the blade guides.

very nice! looks like your next project should be a bigger press.
Thanks. I think that will do fine for a while.Quote:

Thanks buddy. Nope. Jack and the post / blade are are at the same line, so blade stays straight enough without pushings.Quote:

Cost for the material was about 25$.

I like this! Good work!
I don't have any of this equipment on hand but I have an upcoming project in mind that would need a similar setup; however, I have been researching how to invert one of the air-over-hydraulic style jacks (maybe even one of those so-called "long jacks") to be setup like yours and would be powered by an air compressor - so I can get quicker cycling times.
I've seen stuff on the internet that come painfully close but none like yours and especially none inverted that also has air-over-hydraulic functionality. Any ideas or pointers that would not involve a complete re-make of the jack? (Note to Admins: Apologies if this is not the correct place to ask this, please advise if not.)
Regards
