To opperate the CNC Press Break Under the 'Create Bend' tab, select 'new bend'.
 +
Then select the proper Punch (Standard 35 *) and Die (4-way w/risers).
 +
Then select the material that you will be bending and the proper angle that you want.
 +
Then add material thickness and bend width
 +
 
 +
Under the 'run' Tab select new and create a name for the job.
 +
Select the add bend button on the bottom right of the screen, make sure all settings are correct.

press the foot pedal twice to bend the material. (do multiple times if multiple bends on the same job)
 +
 
 +
==Over/Under bending==
 +
If you set the machine to a 90 degree bend and it executes a 92 degree bend, this is called an overbend. The machine is able to account for this. If you happen to have an over/under bend select the OPPOSITE bend and input the amount of the over/under bend.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
 
 +
If a 90 degree input produces a 92degree bend select 'under bend 2 degrees'
 +
 
 +
If a 90 degree input produces a 88degree bend select 'over bend 2 degrees'

After the bend is properly set up in the computer, press the two green buttons simultaneously. This should lower the punch to the safety clearance zone.

Once in this zone insert your material into the machine where you want the bend to be and hold with two hands.

Press the foot pedal twice and be careful not to let the metal hit you while its bending.
    
=== Bending Steps ===
 
=== Bending Steps ===
#Ensure that your sheet metal is thinner or equivalent to 16-gauge sheet metal, and ensure that it is less than 48" in width.
+
 
#If making a bend for a box or a pan, adjust the fingers so that the equivalent width of the fingers is just shorter than your sheet metal.
  −
#Adjust the clamping force and the clamping handle to allow room to insert your work piece.
  −
#Insert your work piece to the line you want to bend, centered in the brake, and clamp your piece securely.
  −
#Pull up on the bending handle of the leaf slowly until your piece is bent to the desired angle, and slowly lower the leaf.
  −
#If the piece does not bend straight, unclamp the handle on the over-bent side and adjust the top leaf.
  −
#Adjust the clamp handle, and remove your piece.
  −
#Put back any fingers if adjusted, and deburr if any rough edges are left.
