This compact benchtop press brake is the perfect solution for the fabricator needing to bend small sections of sheet metal as well as heavy plate steel. Utilizing a common 20-ton bottle jack, this press requires no outside power source or specialized pumps. We suggest a bottle jack with an extended height of at least 15 inches and a retracted height of no more than 13 inches. Ideal for making suspension and body support brackets. With its relatively small footprint, this press is also a perfect fit for those with limited working space. For materials 3/16 and thinner this kit includes our 4-way V-die. This V-die is the perfect accessory for bending thin material (3/16 or less) in our benchtop press brake. Made of 4140 tool steel, this die is precision machined and designed to last! With openings of 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1-1/2 inch, and an overall length of 10 inches, it can accommodate materials of varying thicknesses.
