Forming tool for a bending brake

摘要

A forming tool for creating a profile in a workpiece held within a bending brake is provided. The forming tool includes a body, and a carriage attached to the body and operable to move longitudinally along a guide provided on the bending brake. A pair of opposed forming dies is rotatably and removably mounted on the body, wherein the forming dies are operable to create a profile, such as for brick mold or a fascia rib, in the workpiece as the workpiece passes between the forming dies. The forming dies are interchangeable with another pair of forming dies for creating a different profile in the workpiece. The forming tool of the present invention is intended for use with any type of bending brake.
