"The Beast"

I got tired of not having a metal bender, so this is what I came up with:

1st project: Reverse flow Insulated Cabinet

2-20 ton air over hydraulic.
It works great. A great time saver.

Awesome work dude, I made a hand operated metal brake yesterday. Mine can only do up to about 3mm thick but it will do the job. I wish I had a press like yours, a lot more effective. :kewl:

What gauge will it bend?


If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?

The thickest I use is 12 guage. It bent a 24" piece with no problem.
