Good work.

I have one of the Swag Press Brakes and it has been used just about every week, for the past 6 months.

I built my own press and pressbrake. 1" thick steel 4" tall, used 1" barstock and 1 1/4" tube for the guides and springs that had 1" id. I braced up 1.5" angle welded to 5/8" plate but would go thicker if you have it.

Well, I just ordered a Swag HD Press Brake Kit. I should have ordered months ago but had no projects in mind that needed a metal brake so I procrastinated. I should have it late next week, just in time to bend up a few brackets which I'll need to attach my backhoe to my new to me subframe.

Anyone else order one?
