SWAG shop press brake

[Mstrfxit12]

So I was looking for the capability to bend bar stock and the like in my garage. Looking around I found a brake for my press at Northern but it was $330. Seemed a little expensive. Looking around some more I was able to find a kit, all the pieces, unassembled for $140(shipping included). This was more what I wanted to spend. I put it together this weekend and got it painted. Already did some 1/4"x2" bending and it worked like a champ. Not a bad alternative for someone who needs to do some bending but not a ton. It is marketed to fit the Harbor Freight 20 ton(which was exactly what I have). I'm sure it would fit others in that size area. If anyone is interested it came from swagoffroad.com.

I have one and love it. Also have the digital angle of bend gauge on my tube bender, and I picked up the arbor plates from their tent last year at king of the hammers. They seem like a good group of guys with a lot of good ideas.

I have one also and use it a lot. I built a "flat top" bender for it also for thinner material and tighter bends.
