Hey mate, nice build!
Is that one of those eBay pressbrake attachments? The 450mm for 4mm plate or 300mm for 6mm? You seem happy with it. Would you recommend? Cheers

Awesome. Thanks for the link mate. Just picked up a 55t press and will order the 600mm one. How far back do they spring once released? Any bending tips?

i havent done anything that needs to be 100% perfect yet
spring back will depend on the size of the metal i guess

some sort of gauge to measure bend angle would be good in the future
