Just to be that guy… the 90 at the end of the video was definitely underbent.
My unit bends 90° perfectly. I think it’s just the camera angle. I wish I had more time to utilize it, but it’s so busy at work. I will do the same simulation with the same die and punch as Jake tomorrow morning and report back.

I assume it’s a matter of calibrating it. 90 is never 90 with spring back.
So far it’s working perfectly. After I figured out the foot pedal double tap. All the 90° bends have been very good. I’m still messing with the back gauge.

That’s great. My delivery is scheduled for Tuesday not sure I’ll be home in time though.
Have a guy coming to buy my homemade press hopefully on Saturday for $3000

Definitely. The standard operation for the Titan is to underbend your first part, measure the true angle of the bend and then calibrate the bend program with the overbend/underbend input. Then putting your first bend in again to bring it to the desired angle. We didn’t utilize that feature in this demonstration so the bends were a bit off.

Is there a ‘proposed’ shipment schedule somewhere? We bought a 25T and were wondering if we’ll get it this year.

Will do, thanks for dropping in here.
The sad thing is that this has been done. Can you imagine smacking yourself in the face with your bend project? I can.

I still, occasionally, hit my head on the door of the car when I open it. I probably should get that looked at before I order this brake.

My first job in sheet metal. My foreman had lost all 8 of his fingers on a old flywheel brake. He was bending small pieces with his fingers straight out. The stroke was on the way down and the piece slipped off the backgauge. His fingers went in the pinch. He got his foot off the pedal when the stroke was at the bottom. He was stuck and didn’t know what to do (he was 18 at the time) so he stepped on the pedal to get himself out. Nicest guy you’d ever meet, he taught me a lot.

I met a man with only a thumb on his right hand. He told me that he was working in a door manufacturing company and was using a jointer on the bottom edge of the door (circa 1950’s). The shop had wires that were hanging down attached to overhead lights. The door “caught” on one of those wires and fell backwards as he was struggling to push forwards. He plunged his hand into the jointer.
I had just bought lots of wood working equipment just a month or two prior to meeting him, including a jointer. To this day, Everytime I use it, I think of his hand.

I’ve always treated table saws with fear and respect!

I was a carpenter for 10+ years. I’m still afraid of table saws.
My old boss used to use his fingers up against the fence for small pieces down to like a 1.5” rip it’s pure luck he made it 40+ years with all his fingers.
I use the push stick for anything under 4” or less. Ain’t worth it.

My daughter saw a table saw in a movie fight and was like why is he avoiding it? They stop when they touch skin? Oh sweetie…. Not all of them.
