    Free tools — no sign-up

    Before you talk to anyone, run the numbers yourself. We provide free calculators for bend tonnage, springback and bend compensation, V-die selection and machine recommendation. No registration, no email capture — open and use them.

    Before you buy — the questions we get asked most

    Short answers, no sales pitch. If yours is not here, send the drawing and we will answer it directly.

    What size press brake do I need?

    Tonnage follows plate thickness, bend length and V-die opening — not the machine you happen to be looking at. Our free tonnage calculator works it out from your material and thickness, or send us the drawing and we will confirm the model and the tooling.

    Do you ship to my country, and how is the machine packed?

    Machines travel by sea in a plywood case built for ocean freight, then move to your door by local truck. The 30 ton / 1,200 mm press brake is the size most small shops ask for and is held in regular production.

    Can I buy tooling and control parts if my machine did not come from you?

    Yes. We supply servo control systems with panel and cabinet, backgauge systems with fingers, servo motors and guides, clamps, punches and dies, hydraulic systems and motors — for DIY builders and for machines we never built.

    Can an older manual or NC press brake be upgraded?

    Yes — that is our retrofit work: NC or manual to CNC control, new backgauge systems, converting a multi-V die to a 2-V die, normal clamps to fast-change clamps, American to European clamping, and die risers or die compensation.

    How long does a quote take?

    Send a photo, CAD file or 3D model of the part with your requirements and we come back within three working days with a recommended model and drawings for the custom tooling it needs.

    Tell us what you need to bend

    Send a drawing, a photo, or just the material and thickness. We come back with a machine configuration and a quote.
