I have wanted a press brake a few times; not something that I will use often but I was able to make this one with materials that were on hand (I did buy a 4ft length of 3/4" X 6" steel for the dies). Length of dies is 16 inches, I do not yet know how thick of material it will handle (16 inches of 16ga was easy to bend).

Todd; I used a horizontal mill to make the dies.
