Ok so I got the micro pressbrake all back together, I even slobbered a coat of oil base grey paint onto it..dialed the hydraulic pressure back on the pump to 2500psi-ish instead of the wide open 3000psi like I had before..I might even dial it back further if I see fit,nothing like hitting the relief valve to let you know you're up on the top end! Press so far works great,no issues.

So the first job I had to do was bend up some custom J-hooks for a customer, I don't ask why or what for I just build to print or the damn drawing they give to me on the back of a Chick-fil-A napkin..easy enough. 1/2" A36 rod stock, a few bends and I'm finished. Good first use of the brake.Can't imagine how I got along without it..no more bending metal in the vise with a hammer.
