20 TON Compact Heavy Duty Finger Brake Press DIY Builder Kit

This brake is exactly like the 20 ton HD finger brake, just ~2" narrower. A majority of our international customers have hydraulic presses that are 20.5" wide between the inside frame rails, hence this 20.5" wide version.
Please note: The pictures shown above with the Harbor Freight Press are for example only, We do not have an imported 20.5" wide press at this time.

The press Brake kit comes un-assembled, you do the final assembly and welding. Designed to fit any press brake that has in inside width between the frame rails of 20.5" wide or wider. The press brake kit includes an adjustable back stop for accurate and repeatable bends.

The top clamping bar is machined out of 4140 material and includes4 segmented removable sections. 1", 3", 4" and 9.5" long pieces. These segmented blocks can be removed and rearranged to allow bending of restricted areas on a piece of sheet metal or on an already partially formed pieces.

The heavy duty press brake kit has the same quality construction and number of components as the standard press brake kit, however the differences are as follows. The bottom formed channel on the HD press brake kit is cut out of high strength 3/8" thick steel and the bottom "V" die of has a total width of 3.75" wide x 1/4" thick to allow for easier bending of thicker material.

  • Max Bending Radius (deg.) 110
  • Max Bending Capacity 5/8" plate
  • Max Bending Width 17.875"
  • Total width of the brake is 20.5" wide
Tools required for assembly: welder, grinder, level, small square. The 20 Ton Brake is capable of bending mild steel in the following length and thickness.

  • 17.875" = Full bending width of the bottom die on anything 3/16" or thinner.
  • 15" in 1/4"
  • 13" in 5/16"
  • 11" in 3/8"
  • 6" in 1/2"
  • 3" in 5/8"
Please provide us a valid shipping address that UPS/FEDEX will deliver to.

Press brake is pretty straight forward but came with 1 wing nut (missing rest of hardware) and missing one of the weld on ears. Box was tapped up like crazy so it didn't fall out in shipping. Not too happy after paying this much plus ridiculous shipping to Canada.

Just as I expected

Went together great but have not tried it out yet as I’m not supposed to lift anything heavy yet due to recent surgery I believe it will work just fine

Finger brake

Works great. A must for fabrication. A bend looks better than making two pieces. Haven't tried the gooseneck dies yet.

Very nice finger break!

I bought the swag break and was very impressed from the time the packages arrived. It was packaged excellent!!! Then as I opened and began taking the pieces out, it gave me that good feeling, I had purchased a quality product. I have been welding and fabricating for 47 years, so this was very easy to fit together and weld. I have only bent a couple pieces so far, and I'm very happy with it. I did add the extra angle irons, to obtain a tighter bend on lighter gage steel. It's deffintently a economic way to make the break more versatile. I purchased a Strongway press from Northern Tool, and it had a hand pump to operate the cylinder. I ordered
a Vevor brand air/hydraulic pump, and added that. I'm excited to have more bending projects,and use my new break more. I also want to say how nice it is that you can actually call Swag and talk to a real person! Because my 20 ton Strongway brand press is slightly narrower then the Harbor Frieght 20 ton model, I wanted to talk to a representative from Swag, to verify I was purchasing the correct break. They were so great to talk to and deal with! I defenantly would recomend Swag!!

setup of 20-ton brake fingers

I have the ability to order this kit and weld it up, my problem is, I am already on a large overland build and needed the brake now, I went to Harbor Freight and purchased the press and the next day ordered the Swag compact finger brake already welded. I worked a few hours on the press assembling (quick to do) adding a lower shelf and installing cross members at the base and added castors. I have the screw drive split winch as well to lift the table. The finger brake came in as described and was a pretty quick set up as it was already welded.

I installed brake fingers on the press and used it the same day to bend some light 18 ga metal sheet for a couple of panels. Yes, this is overkill for that type of work, I was waiting for my 30" wide 3-n-1 hand finger brake to come in, that is really what it was purchased to use with the sheet metal.

I was very pleased with the results of bending the light 18 ga. metal. I was building panels that I could on the swag finger brake due to the smaller width only some panels were bent. But, in all fairness, I purchased the brake for much thicker metal for brackets and of course to use with the bearings and seals on my equipment upkeep. I bent some 2' wide 1/4" thick aluminum for some guide for a truck flatbed. It was like nothing was there, very little effort to bend, I did install an air over hydraulic jack I purchased at Harbor Freight as well, at the same time I ordered the Swag equipment. I found that I could move the ram/fingers down quickly and bend the item close, they I actually used the bar and manually pumped the jack for the fine adjustments, what a great way to control heavy and micro bends. I also added steel plates to the press as I was Leary of the cast iron plates.

I would purchase again, and the extra cost of having it delivered already welded paid for itself in my time better spent in not having to give up my time to weld this out. I would have preferred to weld it out but, I had a project I had to complete and had no time to build and weld out the finger brake.

I give this a big thumbs up!
