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.
