PRESS BRAKE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Easy to build, minimal issues, works as advertised

I enjoyed putting this together and it has worked, so far, to bend 1/8" and 11 ga steel. My kit was missing the button-head bolts to hold the back stop, and instead had extra carriage bolts. I happened to have a box of exactly the right bolts lying around, so I didn't try to contact SWAG about it. My press has a 1" shaft, so I got a 1" ID shaft collar that I fit inside the 1-1/2" shaft collar that came with the kit, for a more snug fit. I'm pleased. it did exactly what I needed it to.

Very happy. With the kit. Cleanly made parts with easy directions to build. Does a great job. I will be buying the gooseneck fingers because tight back to back bends fold into the straight fingers. Plus I'll be picking up a release knob for the pump. Using the pump handle for a bunch of parts gets old quick.

Having this press brake is awesome! The kit was a fun little project, and so far I have made sleeves to adapt my stock frame to a box tube front clip, upper and lower control arm brackets and new body mount tabs! Having something like this will open up a whole new world of possibilities for anyone with a build going on.
