This is how a video should start. An introduction, An explanation of the problem to be solved, and a demonstration of how you solved it. Before one cut or weld. I will decide if I want to watch you build it. Well done.
Thank you!
Much better than a one minute music video!
This is the most underrated DIY channel so far 😢.
Great build buddy !!
Can't wait to see part2
Appreciate it!
Damn, I just stumbled upon this channel and it's great. I love when people bridge the gap between engineering design and fabrication themselves. Keep up the great work, man.
Thanks!. Yeah it definitely can be a challenge bridging that gap at times.
It’s so awesome to see your process. The thought process is top notch 👏🏽🔥
I appreciate that!
Great design....great execution.....great presentation.
Really helps me justify a CNC plasma table. Having the freedom to get parts fast and iterate at low cost is gold. That was initially why I got into CNC machining - it was too expensive and very slow to prototype.
Having all the tools in-house provides so many design options. Love it.
Appreciate the kind words! Alway helps if got can do it in house especially when prototyping
Great Video! Like I told you IG I will definitely be ordering one as soon as they are available.
This is Leaps & Bounds above the HoBo Freight 20 Ton that I did Pimp out by adding a Air Powered Hydraulic Jack and some of Swag Off-road stuff.
This is just like a Professionally made Press Brake.
🙏🏽
That thing is awesome! Great design. 👍
Appreciate it! Stay tune for part 2
I have watched several of your videos. You do excellent work and show characteristics of a seasoned fabricator. You have earned a subscription from me. Thank you ( from a fellow fabricator) for excellent projects and taking the time to film and edit your already great content.
appreciate it! Thanks for the kind words.
You are super inspiring, I wish I could do the same stuff like you!
Thanks for the nice compliment. Im sure you can do anything you put your mind to! 🦾
@@RathaSochenda What did you study if I may ask? I consider taking a course in welding or industrial product design. In what study can I learn to use CNC machines, autoCAD and welding at the same time?
My background is mechanical engineering. But honestly I learned most of what I know just from watching UA-cam videos and actually trial and error. It really is a mindset thing. I found the way to learn all three stuff like cnc , design, fabrication is to have personal projects to work on. I’m not sure if that helps answer your question but I hope it points you in the right direction. Pretty much self-taught but it helps to have online mentors you look up to and can ask questions for help. It’s amazing how many people are willing to help if you ask.
This is the best press brake build I've seen on UA-cam. Well done!!!
Thank you appreciate it
Your builds are awesome! So innovative and of the highest quality.
Glad you like them! I try to do my best!
Very nicely done!.. great job with everything and especially attention to detail!.. very nice and complete video!..
Thank you!

Thanks!
Great job!
Thanks!
Incredible accuracy and design process
Yeah it’s not too shabby for a homemade/garage setup.
@@RathaSochenda didnt you consider producing it and selling to people?
@@ffgghjssxcyj just the plans for the frame and all the features I added or will at to the pressbrake tool to make it more semi-auto.
Nice work buddy!
Appreciate it! 🙏🏽
6 minutes in to knowing you exist and an instant subscriber. Well done dude, well done!
Thanks!
Your engineering is super impressive =) Love to see a fellow PNW-er killin the game!
I appreciate it!

Thanks for watching!
That`s really nice professional grade tool!
Appreciate it!
seriously impressive work. Thanks for sharing your builds and thought process, it’s so inspiring! Saw you’re a UW alum, go dawgs!!
🙏🏽
Great video. You did a good job building it. I think I may have to build one.
Thanks! It’s been working so good you just might have to make one!
this is brilliant.
Thanks!
very rad man. your channel is fantastic.
Thanks. Glad you like the channel
WE need Part 2 pleaaaasssseee!!!!
Very nice project man! Looking forward to each video of you 💪🏻 how do you achieve different bending angles?
I’ll show you in part 2 or 3 of the video series. But in short I’ll adjust the thread bolt and record that depth specific for the angle. I’ll have a chart that I will create that will show what depth I need for certain angles I have per thickness. Mainly for me is 45 deg and 90s. If it’s some odd angle I’ll use a digital angle finder and bump the pressbrake pedal until I reach it.
F'yeah! Awesome work! Im super inspired to build my own someday now! I have an air over hydro setup now with a Swag Offroad "break", its ok but I always felt it was lacking, this is the video I needed to see! Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate it. I totally understand what you mean. Hopefully this video sheds more light on other options aside from what’s already available
That’s awesome!!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
Excelente
Great channel!
Thanks
Excellent.Finally I have seen what I wanted... Any time schedule for PART 2 of this video? Thanks.
Hopefully soon…
Hi Ratha. I have tried to purchase and download the plan but the paypal is not working and there are some EU contries are not listed in the purchase selection. Any advice or other option You may recommend,please? Thank You very much indeed.@@RathaSochenda
@@norbyk3637 for the build plans on international orders go here : www.etsy.com/listing/1575803667/diy-shop-hydraulic-press-brake-digital?etsrc=sdt
yes, awesome !
Appreciate it! 🙏🏽
Solid
Appreciate it! Stay tune for part 2
Just earned a sub.
😎
Great work, when is part 2 coming?
In the works… thanks for watching
Yessir! 👨🏾🏭
Thanks for watching
This is awesome , when will part two be out?
Hopefully soon
Very nice design & execution as well what is tonnage capacity of the machine and how much max thickness that can be bendable .
3/16” is what I’ve tested
several years ago i made my press out of bridge banister-- 5in angle riveted together about12 in apart for the uprights and 12 in channel for the front and back of the table, and the top rails of the head,. I tried something different i made the hydraulic jack bracket (Head) so it slid along the top channels allowing me to press right next to the side(that had an opening between the angle iron legs) i was doing mostly farm parts straitening or pressing bearings out, the table was the only weak point as it is held by 2 3/4 in pins but they run through the front and back channels. never put enough pressure to bother them tho . like the repeatable of your design
Freakin awesome. Going in my to do videos
🤟🏾
Excellent Video! Just stumbled on your channel and just finished binge watching all your vids. Great presentation and full of useful info.
Your channel is way underrated, this kind of quality deserves much, much more subs. I had planned to build a similar item, but now I will take advantage of your design: Now going over to your website to order the plans.
Btw. Not sure where you are located (I assume in the US?), did you have any issues importing the Cyclops Design parts?
Thank you,
Bernhard
Appreciate it. No issues importing from Tom over at cyclops design. Depending on what he has in stock it can take as little as two weeks or as long as a month for your press to arrive. But I can say it’s worth the wait especially if you compare cost of die/punch tooling here in the states.
Also if you have any other questions please reach out to me on my contact page of my website. I'll be here to help!
Do you think you could do the same set up for a wider bender? I would say enough to fit 1800 wide material
Most likely no… you will most likely have to run two cyclinder and get them synchronized
I thought that would the case. Are you looking at making your own dies? There’s a with people I’ve seen who cut 16mm plate then weld them together to make a longer piece
I would love to build this, do vevor still do that ram as i cant find it. Whats the thickest plate you have bent

a safe thickness would be 3/16" full steel sheet (23.625" long).
Great build. Will you have an approximate idea of total cost when you complete the press?
I haven’t total numbers yet as I’m still working it but I’ll make sure to breakdown the cost in future videos
@@RathaSochenda I also was curious about the ball park cost for this project? Any rough numbers? Thanks
$3000 max
Why not a c frame design like some of the commercially available ones? I made one similar to this many years ago, albeit much cruder. I would really like a c frame style.
That would work too!
Do you have prints available for this? It’s perfect for my needs
Yes please check the links in the video description for the blueprints
Great video where is part 2 lol
Working slow on it 😅
👍
I already started this build and just realized it's not made for a 6ft tall dude. 😂
😂
New subscriber from province of Manitoba, Canada. Excellent and practical design.I like your thinking on the preß brake with tooling from UK.
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR SUPPLY SOURCES AND IDEAS.
Fantastic. Using the limit switch is a great idea. One thing I missed is how you can from 45 to 90 and back again without adjusting the bolt every time. Looking forward to the DRO.
I’ll explain it in the video part 2 or 3
@@RathaSochenda Can't wait. Thanks.
What was the cost of build?
Check out the Etsy link in video description. Then go under item details and I break down the entire cost to build this. Hope that helps
got it, thanks@@RathaSochenda
Excellent work👍
Part 2???? 👁👁️🙏🏾
I know right 😅
兄弟，切割的时候注意防护颗粒物，带一个3m的防护面罩吧。
sure
Great ideas. Is there a part 2?
Coming soon!
Great Build
Great Design
Great Video
Well done man , from a new sub from the Rep of Ireland
Thanks
