Product Architecture
American conventional profiles plus precision-ground American, Amada, and WILA-style lines from stock.
Seam, channel, hemming, offset, and radius specials, engineered for the parts standards can't form.
For Your Shop
Standard American dies from stock, and when no standard die bends the part, a special engineered for exactly that part, with the tang your machine already takes.
What This Solves
The old way
With Power Brake Dies
My American-style press brake needs everyday tooling, V-dies, goosenecks, hemming tools, and I need it now, not in a quarter.
PBD stocks roughly 79 standard punch and die profiles, D-series dies and P-series punches including safety-tang options, in multiple lengths, ready for immediate purchase.
~79 standard profiles ready to ship
The print calls for a Pittsburgh lock, a hat channel, or a tight offset, and no catalog die forms it.
Specials are PBD's signature: tipped-angle and seam/"W" dies, standing-seam double-flange, open and hat channel, radius rockers, cam-action hemming diesets, adjustable female dies, offset dies, and curling tools, dozens of proven special designs plus full custom engineering.
Six families of proven special designs
My shop runs mixed clamping, an American brake up front and a WILA-equipped machine in back, and tooling never interchanges.
PBD grinds precision tooling in American, Amada/European, and WILA-interchangeable styles, and builds specials with any of the three tangs, one supplier across the whole floor.
