It's a 50t press, the brake is 750mm wide so I should be able to do 6mm full width.

Cheers, yeah managed anyway thanks.

Good spot! 1.8m cut 6mm thick. Proper beast of a thing, weighs over 4.5t.

In a v block the width of the v should be 8 times the thickness of what ur pressing ,ie 1mm sheet =8mm v or 5mm sheet = 40 mm v if that helps in any way

@Deutzdx3 I'm not going to lie i know nothing about it. I don't even know what make it is, chinese/Indian made. I'm in a factory modifyng a veneer press and they asked would I have a use for it.

Lucky bugger, I keep looking for one that isn't to big as they are blinking heavy but one that will fold 5-6ft 5mm plate. Looks like clean machine. You'll find a lot of uses you never knew you had for one.
