What you should really be looking for is a Whitney or Roper Whitney (the later version) combination brake. That is what all the smaller stainless kitchen shops use to do radius bends on sinks, the larger more established shops use press brakes. Radius dies for a Whitney brake can easily be made from water pipe. ~ John Buchtenkirch

Can you show photo of your machine? I was surprised by the distance from the bending edge.
With this distance I can not move on my machine. I can only set the lower bending bar. Or tighten the pipe under the top rail. Can I bend max 60 degrees?

Great machine
Thank you, John. I saw this machine in England and had my fingers. I did not figure out the details, and I did not know the upper beam could go so far. I would be able to solve this bend by pulling the lower rails. The maximum bend would be 120 degrees.
You have an interesting machine. Today's Internet generation can not appreciate the thoughts of our ancestors. They feel that without the CNC it is not possible today. Once they turn his off their electricity. They will not be able to find a way to the next town.
