It is going together pretty well, I will finish it up later today, the quality is very good "top shelf" at a price that pretty much anyone needing to bend something can get $450 with the purchase of a hf 20 ton press is really good

Just to add to an earlier comment...

EVERY brake is a "finger brake" if you don't get your hand out of the way...
