Identifying your press brake tooling style is critical for ensuring machine compatibility. Regardless of the tool profile, you can determine the style by reviewing the specific geometry of the punch tang.

Before checking the tang, it is helpful to understand the overall dimensions that affect your bend. As shown in the diagram:
By providing these measurements along with your tang style, our team can ensure a perfect match for your fabrication needs.
Use the following reference guide to identify your specific press brake tooling system:
Commonly found in North American shops.

Standardized 13mm tang width.


Features a safety "hook" for secure clamping.

If you have European tooling but an American-style machine (or vice versa), you don't need to replace your entire tooling. We offer precision-engineered adapters to bridge the gap between any machine and tool style.
