Turn a standard hydraulic shop press into a practical metal-bending workstation with this 12-inch press brake attachment. Its compact steel construction, spring-assisted return and V-die design make it useful for controlled bending of sheet metal, brackets and workshop fabrication parts.
Designed for mechanics, fabricators and DIY workshops, this attachment offers a simple way to expand the capabilities of an existing hydraulic press without adding another large machine to the workspace.
Compact Metal Bending Solution for the Workshop
The press brake attachment is designed to sit inside a compatible hydraulic shop press and use the press force to form metal against the lower die. The approximately 12-inch working width makes it suitable for smaller fabrication jobs where control and repeatability are more important than handling very large sheets.
Its spring-loaded construction helps the upper section return after pressure is released, making repeated bending operations more convenient. The compact format also means the attachment can be removed when the shop press is needed for other work.
Where used
- Automotive and mechanical workshops
- Metal fabrication and repair work
- Home and professional garages
- Small manufacturing projects
- Sheet-metal forming and bracket making
- Custom DIY fabrication
How used
- Position the attachment securely inside a compatible hydraulic shop press.
- Place the metal workpiece over the lower V-die.
- Align the desired bend line with the pressing point.
- Apply hydraulic pressure gradually to form the bend.
- Release the pressure and allow the spring-assisted mechanism to return.
- Always follow the hydraulic press manufacturer’s operating and safety instructions.

The images show the 12-inch press brake attachment both separately and installed in hydraulic shop presses, illustrating its compact steel construction, spring-assisted mechanism, V-shaped bending die and practical workshop application. The product is designed to provide a convenient metal-bending solution when paired with a compatible hydraulic press.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is this press brake attachment designed for?
It is designed to add metal-bending capability to a compatible hydraulic shop press, allowing users to form smaller sheet-metal parts, brackets and other workshop components.
What is the working width of the attachment?
The illustrated bending die is approximately 30.5 cm, or 12 inches, wide. Always check the dimensions of both the attachment and your shop press before purchasing.
Does the attachment include the hydraulic press?
No. The product shown is the press brake attachment. The hydraulic shop press visible in some images demonstrates how the attachment can be used and should not be assumed to be included.
