Choosing a press brake attachment for a hydraulic shop press is really a question of how thick a bend you need to make and how much you want to spend. In presses brakes shears metal forming, that decision usually comes down to two very different attachments: the Eastwood Press Brake Attachment For Standard 12/20 Ton Hydraulic Shop Presses and the SENDERPICK Press Brake Attachment for Hydraulic Shop Presses. Both create 90° bends, but they aim at different corners of the shop. This head-to-head is about matching capacity to your metalwork rather than splitting hairs over features.
Quick Verdict
The Eastwood is the heavy-duty pick; the SENDERPICK is the lighter pick. Choose based on what you bend most often: thicker stock points to Eastwood, while lighter sheet metal points to SENDERPICK.
At a Glance
| Product | Price | Maximum Bend Angle | Maximum Bending Length | Maximum Bending Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eastwood Press Brake Attachment | USD 299.99 | 90° | 12 inches | 3/8 inch |
| SENDERPICK Press Brake Attachment | USD 107.33 | 90° | 12 inches | 3/16 inch |
Where Each Product Wins
Eastwood wins when the job calls for more bending capacity and compatibility with standard 12/20 ton presses. It is the attachment for heavier mild steel and aluminum work.
SENDERPICK wins when your work stays in the lighter range; the 45# steel build and red finish make it easy to spot in a workshop.
Product Notes
Eastwood Press Brake Attachment
The Eastwood attachment is the one to reach for when your metalwork goes beyond light sheet. It is rated for accurate, variable-length bends in mild steel and aluminum, and the upper die mounting cup has a 41mm inside diameter for aligning tooling. The overall dimensions of 14.5 by 7.5 by 9.25 inches give it a solid presence on the bench. The trade-off is the California Prop 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm. If you are comfortable with that caveat, the Eastwood earns its position as the more capable of the two.
SENDERPICK Press Brake Attachment
The SENDERPICK attachment takes a lighter route to the same bending job. It is built from 45# steel with plastic-sprayed and blackened surfaces, and the red finish keeps it visible in a cluttered workshop. With a maximum bending thickness of 3/16 inch, it suits sheet-metal work where heavy plate is not part of the routine. That 3/16-inch ceiling is its clear limitation; anything beyond that calls for the Eastwood's greater capacity. If your projects stay in the lighter range, the SENDERPICK gives you a practical way to enter press brake work.
Final Choice by Use Case
Go with Eastwood if your hydraulic press is a standard 12 or 20 ton model and your projects include thick mild steel or aluminum that call for the upper end of its bending capacity. Go with SENDERPICK if you work with lighter sheet metal and want to stay at the lower end of the $192.66 price spread. The deciding factor is how thick your stock gets and how much you want to spend.
