Seeing if anyone can give some useful advice on press brake back gauges.
We do mostly architectural metal which involves some sheet metal brake work which is done on an old Guifil with automec back gauge. We are looking to buy a new machine as we are getting more precision prototype work which is a pain to do on the old machine so I'm looking at a new Accurpress 125 ton with a 4 axis backgauge.This could be upgraded to a 6 axis for about 20k but is this worth it and a must have. Quite frankly the 4 axis is going to make my life so much easier but I would hate to be kicking myself a year or 2 down the road if I didn't purchase this option.
Thanks
