I did some more work to my press brake today, its coming along nicely. Wife wants me to paint it orange.

The wheels make it easy to maneuver in my basement. Its so heavy now I think it will reside permanently in my basement lol.

savage11, Hello red or orange is really good...Cap what caliber is that rifle on the wall?

**Savage11** · Mar 11, 2018, 07:07 PM

It is a BAR WW2 trainer 2x overscale. It was used as an instructional aid to show GIs how the Browning Automatic Rifle operated. A real BAR is 30-06.

The cool thing about this design is you could also put identical jacks on each end and carefully pump them to achieve a greater and more uniform bend on certain parts.

Heavy, but not too small for a little engine/ wheelie bars and propel it up the stairs, lol.

Maybe readers have seen brake I purchased... http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/i...al-brake-69323 it has jackscrews arranged between bed and Vee die, according to gauge being worked. I really like the idea of individual pressure units, but like my jackscrews achieving parallel isn't so easy. Pumping two could be worse.
I'd suggest a single pump, split a manifold to a pair of heavy cylinders. The parallel adjustment could be in threaded clevis and screw. Half a clevis turn divides the thread pitch x .50, turns of the screw for finer increments.
I'd offer the calculation distributing load equally over 2 points; BUT that currently defies my search terms. It's something like, but not the rule of thirds [as in photography]. It isn't 33.3%
