Bought this for personal use and it is well worth the money, plus it feels nice to build it yourself.

Great way to bend flat plate with professional results and at a low cost. My press sat in the corner for almost 20 years without being used. Now I use it instead of straining the fingers on my box and pan brake or bending in the vise. I also built a stand to raise the press to height that suits me (I'm 6', 3") and put it on wheels so it's out of the way when not in use.

Excellent Finger Brake

This is an incredible finger brake! I purchased the DIY kit and it was a breeze to assemble. I went from a box of parts to an assembled, working finger brake in about an hour. All the parts fit perfectly and the directions were well written. This brake is easy to use and makes perfect bends.

Mr.

This press brake is well built, accurate, and I am getting good results with the bends I have been making.

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.

Shop owner and operator

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.
