Just a quick thought for those needing to bend sheet metal wider than your vise jaws.

You need to get a Swag offroad press brake kit.

I have the swag kit myself. It's ok. The top die is a bit sloppy which leads to some inaccuracy. The bottom die is also not flat on the bottom so that ads to some issues as well. It's great for making a one off or two for something that you have sitting in your shop. It's not a good plan for making repeated parts bent to a specific angle. Everytime I turn around I run into it not being wide enough.
