Hello everyone, I mentioned in another recent post that I hadn't had much involvement on the forum as of late. I am including a few pics. of a recent acquisition of our welding program, this is a part of a substantial upgrade that we have been involved in for the past 6 to 7 months. We were fortunate enough to qualify for a size-able sum of money to make a lot of important additions. We had been using an older mechanical press brake to instruct and fabricate a great number of items for our program and the benefit of our students. It is a 10 foot Chicago mechanical brake, not looked upon too highly by anyone with safety in mind, yet it had allowed us to cover such items as safety, operation, capabilities, and other associated points. We have upgraded to an Accurpress 8' 175 ton hydraulic brake now and been able to tool it up considerably well. Four-way bottom die(1,2,3, and 4" openings), lg. and sm. radius top punches, a goose neck punch and two different bottom dies specifically designed to be used with the goose neck punch. Later I hope to include photos of this machine in action. Best regards, Allan
