When i need to bend heavy plate i do it in a 50 ton hydraulic
press. I made my own dies and punches out of 4140. For
round and square holes i use the stripit or unipunch holders.

I have only a 6 ton press and hardly use it enough to justify the
space it takes up. I lengthened the frame, put wheels under it and
store an arbor press (that gets more use) nested into it.
