Re: Sheet Metal Manual Brake Press

Do you have any suggestions in particular?

Even if it was only up to .090 aluminum, might still work. As for the budget, I need to get an idea of how much it would be to get something that suits our needs.

We have a Promecam RG 103 that we use for heavy duty things, but all our punches and dies are for bending 3/4" thick steel material. Buying sheetmetal dies for this machine can get pricy, not to mention the inconvenience of having to change dies for a low quantity item.

Once, I know what manual brake presses are out there for our purposes, we will decide if we get it or just get dies for our machine.
