working on assembling ours...would love to have had a video to refer to showing us exactly how to do it...we had some issues deciphering the "detailed" instructions especially the depth of the pins...but after a little head scratching and trial and error, it is almost complete...excited to start using it
This might sound like nitpicking but the top tool is not called a "die", that is a 'punch'. Saying the word "top" or "bottom" before the word 'die' is kind of like saying the word "male" before the word 'penis'. Dies are female, punches are male.
For it to fit the 12 ton HF press you will need to cut a few inches out of the top and bottom dies. I have sold this kit to other people who have modified it to fit many different kinds of presses as well as iron workers.
$120-$180 depending up on a few options.

How wide a piece of 3/16 inch will it bend?

@Mikemainstreet
With the standard duty press brake kit you can bend 15" wide piece of 3/16" A-36 steel.
All stats and material specifications are listed on the website.

Made my own, it sucks...I'll leave it to you. Can you sell me just the 'punch'?

The bend radius of the regular press brake kit is .25" . The HD press brake kit is .50"

@Swagoffroad
So the smallest radius on 16ga would still be .25" Do you have an option to have a smaller radius.

I don't you could stack smaller pieces of angle iron in the bottom die to reduce the bend radius for one off creations.

What is the bend radius? 1/16" (average)?
