The bending press is of the type comprising a movable blank-holder formed by a series of sections in which two spaced-apart sections are in the form of shoes (34) with projections (36) pointing in opposite directions, so that each can be engaged in a channel-shaped bend which has already been made. Each shoe (34) is supported by a shoe-holder body (38) by means of inclined guides (40) by virtue of which, when the movable blank-holder moves away from the fixed blank-holder, the two shoes (134) move towards one another in order to release their projections (36) from the channel-shaped bends. Each shoe (34) and the respective shoe-holder body (138) are interconnected by positive drive means (50, 54, 56, 58) for moving the shoe (34), the means being coordinated with drive means of the movable blank-holder so that the movements of the movable blank-holder away from and towards a fixed blank-holder associated therewith correspond to movements of the shoes (34) towards and away from each other, respectively, without sliding of the shoes on the sheet metal.
