Great video. Thanks for posting. What's the thing with the mallet that moves back and forth in front of the press? Can you create a video of how you've coupled to the two axis back gauge? What is a two axis back gauge? Is the bending ram moved directly by hydraulic cylinders or with an intermediate linkage? I see it seems to pause before it makes the bend. John Dammeyer
