KAKA INDUSTRIAL Manual Steel Bending Brake, 4-Inch Capacity 2.5-Ton Press, 90-Degree Bender FB-4 for 3/16" Steel and 3/8" Aluminum, Bench-Top Mountable​

I bought this because I want to put bends into 0.074 inch steel. Not to put too fine a point on it but the machine works perfectly. It would be nice if they sold different size mandrels, but the one that came with it is perfectly good. I expect many years of service from this machine.

Used for 3/8 aluminum rod worked well

Use this tool to make motor mounts and brackets for my car project. Bent 3/8 inch steel and quarter inch aluminum without problems. Tool seems durable and will probably last a long time.

Difficult to use, especially when tying to bend on a straight line. Bends are coming out crooked since the alignment line gets hidden when the metal is installed.

The media could not be loaded. Mounting it and adding some cheat bars helps tremendously for doing multiple bends and I used a digital angle finder to find my sweet spot

This tool works and its well made.

It didn’t work very well then I noticed that the top strap was in a bind and wouldn’t work properly. Then I compared it to the picture on the box. That top strap is on upside down. Remove the pin, install the top strap properly and it works great.

The bends are not square or even. Putting marks and setting the gauge. It's okay for rough fabrication but not finish work.
