Toms thread on his sheetmetal folder reminded me that I had some information to post on the design and build of a magna bend folder. Not wanting to hijack Tom's thread I thought I should start a new one.

Cool.

I like the versatility of the floating dies were you could bend all the way around them. but it did look like some one could make some thing like it to work in a shop press.

Googled Magnabend and found this site on constructing the magnet.

You would still have to figure out how they did the hinges.
