I'm not visualizing where the screws are that hold the 'cup' on. Can you post a picture showing that?

So I thought I had better make something to hold/clamp it in place, I have no idea if it really needs to be clamped in place or not but Swag seem to think so.OK , Now I am officially suffering from tool envy , I know it is a bad thing to admit , but I can't help it . This means I have to put together the materials , make a spot in the shop , build it and then I will be alright again , (for a while). Thanks a lot ! ! ! !
Now welding is out because I have painted it so I made these, - no not the pencil.
They fit one on each side.
The slot allows them to slide into place
There is one on each side I can slide them into place and tighten the bolt.
Not sure if I need them but if I do ...........
Also the astute amongst us will notice the slot isn't parallel this is because the sides on the flanges of the 'C' channel are not parallel one side tapers (thicker towards the web).

On mine the "bottom die" is held in place between two round shafts that are welded to the base.
The "bottom die" is left in place when bending relatively light weight materials and is removed ... leaving just the two round shafts to act as the "bottom die" ... when bending relatively heavy weight materials.
I'm not suggesting it is the correct\better\best\only way to do anything, just offering it as food for thought.

No sympathy.

What is the diameter and C-C distance of the two round bars that are used as the bottom dies on your unit?
Also do you know how heavy of plate it was rated to break?
Thanks
