Max Material Thickness: 1/4" x 24", 3/8" x 6". Requires Press Brake Mounting Kits for 60 & 110 Ton Shop Presses What our Experts Think Transforms Your Shop Press into a Brake — the EDWARDS 24″ Press Brake Tooling (ED9‑PRB24) lets your press perform precise bending and forming without a separate brake machine. Compatible with 40 T, 60 T, and 110 T shop presses. Versatile 4‑Way Die Included — includes a standard punch and 4‑way die that handles 1/16″, 1/8″, 3/16″ and 1/4″ material up to 24″ wide in one setup. Heavy‑Duty Construction for Repeated Use — solid steel base with heavy‑duty return springs ensures smooth, reliable operation in busy fabrication environments. Supports Multiple Fabrication Tasks — ideal for forming brackets, pans, frames, and tanks with consistent 90° bends. Paired Easily with Back Gauge — when used with a press brake back gauge (sold separately), setup time is reduced and repeatability increases. Good Material Capacity — bends up to 1/4″ thick x 24″ wide or 3/8″ x 6″ sections, covering most shop needs without specialty tooling. Q&A Q1: What is the ED9‑PRB24 24″ Press Brake Tooling?A: A heavy‑duty 24″ press brake tooling set designed for use with Edwards ironworkers and shop presses to bend sheet and plate up to 24″ wide with precision. Q2: What bending capability does it provide?A: Enables consistent 90° bends across the full 24″ width, suitable for forming brackets, channels, housings, and structural components in fabrication tasks. Q3: What machines is this tooling compatible with?A: Works with Edwards ironworkers and compatible shop presses that support press brake tooling (typically 40 ton and up). Q4: What material thickness can it bend?A: Designed to bend common fabrication thicknesses (steel and similar metals); match tooling size with press capacity and material wall thickness for best results. Q5: How does this tooling improve workflow?A: Provides a dedicated brake station with enhanced accuracy and repeatability compared to ad‑hoc bending methods — ideal for repetitive bends on production runs. Q6: Is the tooling easy to install?A: Yes — bolts directly into a compatible press brake workstation on your ironworker or press with minimal setup. Q7: What are typical applications?A: Fabrication of panels, angles, brackets, covers, and assemblies where controlled, straight bends are needed. Q8: Does it work with a back gauge?A: Yes — pairing it with the Edwards Press Brake Back Gauge (ED9‑PR135) boosts precision by consistently positioning material for repeat bends. Q9: Is it rugged enough for industrial use?A: Built for shop‑level metal forming, with durable construction that withstands frequent use in fabrication environments. Q10: What’s the core benefit of this tooling?A: Expands your ironworker or shop press into a full‑width press brake solution, enhancing forming versatility without a separate press brake machine. Maintenance Tips Clean After Every Use: Wipe tooling surfaces and contact areas to remove metal chips and debris — this prevents buildup that can affect bending quality. Light Lubrication: Apply a thin coat of machine oil to contact surfaces and guide edges to reduce friction and protect against rust. Inspect for Wear & Damage: Check the tooling edges and profiles for nicks, dents, or deformation; replace or recondition worn tooling to maintain precise bends. Check Alignment & Fit: Ensure the tooling seats correctly and is aligned in the press brake before each job to achieve consistent, accurate bends. Tighten Fasteners: Periodically verify that clamps and mounting hardware are secure to prevent shifting under load. Protect Against Corrosion: Store tooling in a dry area and use a rust inhibitor on exposed steel when not in use.
