Pretty sure that’s gonna be max speed in the bending position. There isn’t a large hydraulic pump on this thing cranking out high GPM. I think it’s running servo pumps that generate high pressure for their size and a high degree of precision in timing. Also why it’s silent. Non servo hydraulic presses like my homemade one make a screaming loud pump noise when the pump runs.
For me, it’s just ultimate way faster than getting shit bends from my homemade press and fudging them for 15 minutes.
Definitely agree with that. Just used to production machines that are bending at warp speed. It doesn’t changes my mind if it slow just wondering if that’s the 5ipm or the 20 ipm. It’s going to be so cool just to actually have another awesome tool in the shop.
That looks about 5ipm to me.
Definitely not mad speed. It’s at least 3x faster
That’s what I was hoping for. Multiply that 4 four and that’s pretty respectable for this little guy!
Just have to remember that for many people this is their first time running a machine like this. We always advocate for slow speeds while still getting to know the machine! It’s the best defense against a potential accident.
I have it set to 5 IPM. I will speed it up tomorrow morning. Ok. I was thinking like @langmuir-mike
Slow for now 
Until I get comfortable with its operation and learn more, I will proceed cautiously. I have never had or operated a press that I couldn’t control by myself.
From what I saw on the screen, it will go to 15 IPM.
Definitely agree on safety! We have laser guards on the presses at work. If your hand breaks the plane of dies it stops the press and asks you if you want to proceed. I like the lock material feature as a great workaround so you can get your hands out of the way. Can’t wait to get into this thing. Already have a few things drawn up ready to go.
You’re doing a great job, thanks for the pictures and videos. Definitely keeps me motivated. Any bend type questions you might have just message me if you need some help, been doing this for 25 years.
I’m sure I will. I have been using a homemade 18-inch finger brake I bought as a kit for several years. It is in a 30-ton Snap On air-operated press. It works well, but no repeatability.
Hey it works right? But that repeatability is where it’s at. I built a little 14" press a few years ago with an air over Hydraulic. Every bend is different but at least it got me what I needed in the end. I scored an 8 foot hand brake and had to get rid of it cause of space. It was nice but without fingers it was a pain.
Is that offer for everyone here? If so can I just get your number to make easy on me and you? 
I have a 52-inch Tennsmith finger brake. It’s heavy-duty. I can bend 11 ga all day. And a 52-inch KaKa air-operated shear. It is a bad son of a gun. Stuff happens real fast with it. I forbid any shop helpers from using it without me standing there.
Absolutely, just private message me and I’ll give it to you
Nice! I was looking at the kaka heavy finger brake right after I got rid of the 8 footer. Than Langmuir did it again lol. That shear is nice, I looked at those as well. But you’re right they move violently.
What’s the capacity on that?
You answered much to quick, take some time and think about what you just agreed to.
I but an Old book on press brakes so hopefully between that and the forum I can get most my questions answered. But I will keep you in mind. Thank you
It will cut 11ga 3000 series aluminum 48". It will only cut 6061 about 24"
16 GA steel without any problems.
Any thicker than that has to be a small piece.
It has two 4" air cylinders driven from a pressure multiplier @250 psi in a 10-gallon tank.
Hell, it jumps off the floor sometimes.
They don’t make it anymore but if I was to buy another I would get the hydraulic version. Slow and efficient.
I bet it does. Air cylinders are pretty violent
You must just bounce Between here and the 3-D postings
Nice! Much better, that’ll be very nice.
