I built a 30 ton press for my shop and I have used it quite a bit but there was still more that I could do with it if I just built some tools to go with it.
With that in mind I built a press brake for bending plate and once I got it finished I thought I'd give it a try and take a couple pics. This is a piece of 3/8" x 6" plate. Only took about 8 tons of pressure to bend it 90*.
I couldn't find my camera so these are cell phone pics, sorry 'bout that.
