Pietenpol-List: Press Brake dimensions.....
Original Posted By: santiago morete
Hello good Piet-Ple,A couple of people on this list have asked about the press brake that I built toform the 4130 fittings for my Pietenpol. Yesterday I drew up these dimensions and shot a few photos for Curt in Texas, soI thought I'd post them for anyone who may want to build it. It only requiresa few steel parts and a low-profile 20-ton bottle jack from Harbor Freight -hey, it works. The only part(s) that are tough to get are the dies and I boughtmine from "Midwest Press Brake Dies, inc." I would buy a "gooseneck" upperdie if I did it all over again as I found one at a used machinery shop in Seattleand it'll bend some of the "u" shaped parts much easier.Anyway, hope this helps some of you out there...........Enjoy.....--------Jake Schultz - curator,Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/pres ... ______Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2014 18:15:35 -0700
