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.

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
