Reply:That's a nice drawing for a brake. But it only works to bend metal in the vertical position. Can you post a drawing for a brake that bends metal laying in the horizontal position? hahahaahNice plan.

Reply:Thanks.  I'll be putting one together this weekend.
Reply:Great little project!  Nice plan!I didn't use your plan,  I built mine over the weekend before I saw your drawing, but I used your concept.  Thanks for the great idea!  Mine is  24" tall x 20" wide with 16" between the uprights and a 6-Ton jack.  I can slide 1 1/2 flat bar through it lengthwise so I can bend to any desired angle up to 90° as well as bending cross-wise.   I haven't fab'd the dies yet, that's comming.  Photo from phone camera is a bit fuzzy but you get the idea.Crossbeams and anvil:  1.5 x 2.5 x .188 rect tubeUprights:       2 x 2 x 3/16 angle (qty 4)Fasteners:     3/8" grade 8 cap screwsAnvil support pins:   5/8" Grade 8 cap screwsNo, it isn't all welded, I bolted this frame together to permit easy mods later on. (I had lots of fun with the drill press!)  The jack is on a 1/4" plate with 1/8" rails, I use a slice off a 1 1/4" pipe nipple to center the top of the jack piston.  Those components are all welded, as will be the dies.(BTW: you don't see any gas jugs in these pics.  ) Attached ImagesMember, AWSLincoln ProMIG 140Lincoln AC TombstoneCraftsman Lathe 12 x 24 c1935Atlas MFC Horizontal MillCraftsman Commercial Lathe 12 x 36 c1970- - - I'll just keep on keepin' on.
