This patented and Made-in-USA shop press is the newest tool from Rogue Fabrication. You need a press that works as hard as you do and doesn’t waste your budget or your floor space. This portable tool can be built several ways to fit into your budget and space:

1. Convert your Harbor Freight press to have a VersaPress ® top and run off the hydraulics on your tubing bender starting under $2K.
2. Buy a standalone VersaPress (our complete made-in-USA solution) – pricing online 24/7 at https://www.roguefab.com/product/vers...
3. Buy a standalone Versapress and upgrade it with a dedicated 2HP electric/hydraulic power system for the ultimate machine! https://www.roguefab.com/product/vers...

This machine will accept our precision (also made-in-USA) press brake as soon as we release it later this year.

The table can move WAY down to accommodate large items like transmissions and hub assemblies for bearing press work. The hydraulic cylinder can mount in 3 locations. We show it in the middle in this video, but it can be mounted off to either side as well.

You may have noticed we have OVAL shaped dimple dies (nickel plated) being used in this video. We design, machine, heat treat, and nickel plate these right here in Oregon, USA. They are sold here: https://www.roguefab.com/product/shap...
The threaded inserts we’re using are called PEMserts. They are available just about anywhere online, including McMaster. We will likely distribute them in the near future!
We will be releasing a precision press brake with accurate back gauge that will fit perfectly in this press. It was designed from the ground up to cater to motorsports and industrial fabrication. That means dimple dies, universal press work, sheet metal nut (PEM) installation, and sheet metal forming (press brake operations)

Compare our press to any other one on the market and you will find that ours has more features per dollar than a Dake arbor or hydraulic shop press, and better rigidity than a Harbor Freight 20 ton press. Unlike the Chinese press brakes being sold by Langmuir and Baileigh, ours is made in the USA and doesn't depend on a proprietary touchscreen and use slow stepper hydraulics like the vs langmuir Titan 25T. Our backstop will be VERY rigid (nearly crash-proof) while still maintaining OSHA safety standards. Eastwood also imports hydraulic presses, and we encourage you to check reviews and warranty for RogueFab vs Eastwood. You can also compare us to Edwards.
