I read K Potters thread on press brakes. Nice info.
I would appreciate some guidance on what is involved with the 8X die rule.
I have a 50T Geka ironworker that has the tooling for a press brake set up less the V die.
I have a need to bend some 1 x 3 HR bar and would love to use this press if possible. My Geka came some tooling the mounts to the punch end. The largest die is made from 2" round bar.
So with all this said, walk me through what is needed to build a v-block die. I invision a heavy plate with two pieces of round bar spaced x" apart to accomadate the material, 1.0" bar plus my 2" round bar tooling...
Where do I go from here?
Thanks,
Tom
