==Other presses by application== * A [[press brake]] is a special type of machine press that bends sheet metal into shape. A good example of the type of work a press brake can do is the back-plate of a computer case. Other examples include brackets, frame pieces and electronic enclosures. Some press brakes have [[CNC]] controls and can form parts with accuracy to a fraction of a millimeter. Bending forces can range up to 3,000 tons.<ref>Press Brake Tonnage Table, American Machine Tools Co.
