    Default Press brake

    It is the SWAG off road kit. I have to modify it for my press by extending the tabs you see on the front and re welding the clamping ears. (it seems to work fine without them so we will see if I need to do that) the HF 20 ton has 4 inch side beams and my Arcan has 7 inch wide rails and is rated for 30 ton even though it had a 20 ton jack, I added the 20 ton Air over Hydraulic you see in the picture.
    Please give me feedback on the welds as I'm still learning
    I mig 200
    1/4 mild steel
    175 amps
    22 volts
    0.35 solid wire
    75 / 25 mix
    The test bends were on 3/16 mild steel and there was no resistance at all. I like this tool.
