Chicago Dreis & Krump Press Brake Dies

General Purpose 30° Forming Punches and Dies - scroll down this page
Acute Dies are the most universal type of press brake dies. Recommended as a starter set. Make air-form bends from 30° to shallow bends. The press brake ram is adjusted to limit the depth of punch travel into the die to obtain the desired bend angle. 30° dies can also be used for hemming. Female dies can be purchased with flat top instead of tapered sides.
