In this short video I am showing how I rough out a 3/4" x 1 1/2" bar to 3/4" square leaving an offset area wider for a bend to occur later.  There is a short bit of video in video that shows the function of my foot control, sorry but this is not in sinc. This  press is a shop built 24 ton press running an 11 gpm pump on a 2 hp 1800 rpm motor.
