where can I buy press brake dies?

admin

Anyone know where I can buy a short section of press brake dies?  I need 10" or so that can bend 3/16"-1/4" steel.  I don't have cash for a full size machine so I just want a piece that I can mount in my shop press for now.  Am I wrong thinking a 20 ton hydraulic press will bend 5 or 6" of 1/4 plate?
