In this video I show how to adapt a router edge guide to create and back gauge for my shop press brake to make repeatable precision bends. This video defines the procedures used to interface an off the shelf guide, a shop made adapter to create the back gauge. Also, I describe how to make improvements to this guide for more precision bends.
