I recently bought this 20 ton press,at the time I didn't have a use for it but I got a good deal on it.Before I even moved it all the sudden I have a need for it...yes!So after doing some research on press brake's I made one from some scrap that I had on hand.The job that I'm needed some steel plates for connecting the hip rafters to the ridge and the plate is specked to be bent.Steel was cut with a steel deamon blade and a RidGid wormdrive saw.

Reply:Thanks bert....I'm making hip plates again and still have a few options.....It most likely is a cheap Chinese cylinder.
