Testing the LIMITS On The KAKA PBB-4012 Pan/Box Brake...

Ive been using this Kaka Vice Brake for a while..works great: amzn.to/3BK6jiJ

I have a harbor freight 20t press and I bought a Swag finger brake kit for it to bend some 1/8" plate. It will bend up to 19 inches wide. They do make wider finger brake kits for larger presses but 19" is as wide as the brake will go for the harbor freight 20t press. I am making an electric cart and needed to bend some 1/8" by 18" long plate for a skid plate. It bent it very easy and did a perfect job. I also have installed an air operated 20t jack on the press to make it quicker and easier. You can buy a harbor freight press, air bottle jack and Swag brake kit for under $800.

NBS welding youtuber has a KAKA brake and he uses an overhead hoist to lift the handle when bending thicker gauge steel. You may need to build an 'A' Frame hoist above the unit so you don't blow out your O-ring.

Machine; My back hurts. Made a trade, I had 10 aluminum brake traded for boat trailer. After trade, this man seen my shop he gave me two PEXTO box and pan brakes. Both are frozen in rust. Looking for plastic tank so I can use electric to remove the rust. Hats off to new things.

Your whole family has the COMEDY gene!

Looks like a nice Machine! Add a hydraulic ram to it and it will bend 10 gage thick material. Don't abuse that Keystone girl by making her help you bend.

Score the bend line with a grinder or possibly make it in two pieces and weld it at 90 if you have the capability. Full width 12 gauge on that would be really pushing it. Also, keep the metal to be bent towards the side and not in the middle. The area with the greatest deflection in the machine is the middle and the sides are more ridgid

Machine, I'm from the UK and have the exact same box and pan folder, different name on mine, love it for what use it for. We always use to put a piece of 3x2 angle along the front edge to give u more leverage and support on thicker plate

MACHINE, MACHINE, MACHINE!!! I like MACHINES are my Passion, there's nothing like a Good MACHINE..................DUH! I wish I had a GREAT MACHINE HAT. I could wear it while I have a Keystone while DOING wood working on my Table Saw MACHINE. Thanks for the Video about this MACHINE!!

Nice Machine! Maybe you can bring the mini X in to pull on the bars for those big bends!

Machine I like the hats! Black on black is great!

I have the Grizzly model GO542 48” pan and box brake. Just checked the current price and it’s up to $2925. I’ve had mine for a number of years and haven’t been able to break it yet despite my best efforts. This past Saturday I was able to brake 4 pieces of 14 gauge that were slightly over 48” long to over 90 degrees by myself but it took all I had and I was glad there wasn’t a 5th piece. But, I was able to do it and you’re much younger than myself.

That's a nice MACHINE! That black-on-black MACHINE hat is dope too! I will say, watching you bust a nugget on a manual brake makes me realize how good the guys in our shop have it. I program the CNC machines for them, but they are spoiled with these Trumpf CNC press brakes we have at work. haha Love your vids, man!

One heck of a Machine you got there!

Weld up a pivot with bottle jacks for the long and thicker bends

Haha I forgot I had an Alexa in my living room until you started making it play while I was checking out your new " Machine "

Love the comedy ! Machine! Keep up the great contect

KAKA - great name for Chinese products !

next time Andrew Camarata style... use the tractor fork on these handles and lift the thing lol

Machine - an apparatus using or applying mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function and together performing a particular task
