Bend Functions DVD This DVD covers the fundamentals of bend deduction development, K-factors, how bend deductions are calculated. Even if you never apply these calculations on the shop floor the need to understand what happens at the point of bend cannot be understated. When you understand what is happening with your tool selection decisions and flat pattern developments will be correct the first time. NTSC 32, Run time 30:27

The Press Brake & Methods DVD The different types of press brakes and the different methods of forming are discussed. Discover where the name came from, how the machine has evolved; why did we move from mechanical press brakes to hydro-mechanical to electric Learn the differences between Air-forming, Bottom bending and Coining. Knowledge no operator should be without! NTSC 32, 39:00 |
  |
Press Brake Punches DVD In this DVD we investigate the the different types of press brake punches (the upper tool) that are used in the press. Learn how to properly calculate the maximum safe tonnages and learn the load limit of the press brake based on material type and method of forming. By learning the properties of these tools and their limits, damage to the press brake, the tooling and the operator are greatly reduced. NTSC 32, 30:19 runtime |
  |
Press Brake Dies DVD Press Brake dies delves in to the mysteries of die selection (lower tool), the different types of dies and their purposes are discussed. Learn how to match openings geometrically to achieve the desired inside radius whether or not you are Air-forming or bottom bending. With just one viewing you will save hours of aggravation and tons of scrap. NTSC 32, 38:00 runtime

Press Brakes - Other tools and methods DVD On this video we look into the various operations other than straight forward bending. The DVD contains tips on selecting forming sequence for optimum forming ease. Also covered: Pin gauging Bump radius Off-set bending Urethane forming Deep box forming Some old standards and new options a must for getting the most from your press brake. NTSC 32, 27:03 runtime |
  |
Press Brakes - Bottom Bending DVD Learn the secrets and dangers of bottom bending. Different then coining, bottoming has been a staple of the precision sheet metal trade. While no longer recommended by press brake manufacturers it is still widely used. Done properly and with experience, bottom bending is a valid way to form parts. At the same time one mistake can severely damage the press brake. An important video for the operator understand even if air-forming is the only operation being preformed. NTSC 32, 22:21 runtime |
