Building the Swag Offroad Heavy Duty Finger Brake from Beginning to Bend. I purchased the Langmuir Crossfire Pro on the first round of the Presale. In the first few minutes. I didn't want to miss out. Then once I built it, I saw an Instagram post with the exact same HTP Plasma cutter I had. He had made a shelf bracket to store his Plasma Cutter up off the floor on the wall. I loved the idea since real estate in a small shop is of high value. I sent @ch0wpay a message and he generously sent me the file. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention to the files and cut the bracket out of 1/8 inch material. They looked great, but I had no way to bend them. Ultimately I went with slightly thinner material and added relief cuts to make the shelf brackets work with the tools I had available. It got me thinking though. I was limiting the types of projects I could do with the CNC if I had no way to continue the metal fabrication process beyond the cut. I already had a 20 Ton Press from Harbor Freight. What could I add to it to bend heavier material? Fortunately, I was already familiar with www.swagoffroad.com/ having purchased a table for my Portaband Metal Bandsaw last year. So I looked them up and decided on the DIY Heavy Duty Finger Brake Kit. I don't have a lot of metal Bending Experience. Well, that's an understatement. I have next to none. Even the light duty brake I have has seen even lighter duty. That said, I can see the need and I generally figure stuff out eventually. Even if it takes a few fails to get there. The bottom line, I ordered what I thought I needed and here we are. If you are like me, and relatively new to metal fabrication, I hope this video will be informative and help you along your journey to making cool stuff.
