This accessory normally rests on the floor behind the press. Caution! Weight is about 60 lbs.
It is constructed over a piece of 3" x 3" x 5/16" angle, so the bends it makes are distributed through about 4" of width. To tighten up the bend radius, stack pieces of smaller angle inside the large one.
Loads to bend steel sheet can be found on this tonnage chart. Do not exceed 20 tons.
