Q: Seems to bend a 3/8" radius. Is there some attachment or modification that can get close to a 1/8" radius?

The answer is yes, but it was not from the mfg. I made my own shoe. The one that comes with the break is 1/2" thick. I used a piece of 3/8 flat bar and cut it out and finished it on the milling machine. I milled the edge to a 90 deg. edge point. It works quite well.

Q: To make a 36" wide U (outside measurement) using two 90 degree bends in a 3/16" x 2" steel plate, where do I start bending, at 34" apart?

Best is to use an extra section of your material for a test bend. Mark/scribe a line on the material and align it to the moving fixture on the tool. It should bend on your line. Be aware that the tool does not always make a parallel bend , so you might have to twist the material afterwards to make everything straight. A long piece like you are using needs to be supported so it doesn't move when you are bending it.

Q: Has anyone has success bending 3/16" x 2" mild steel. I tried it and bend the pin that hold the top plate in place. Also broke the top plate

Same here. 3/16” x 3” mild steel, bent both the top and bottom arms beyond operational use the second time I used it. So I went and bought a bearing press from Harbor Freight and a press brake from Swag off-road. Have been bending 3/8” x 3” mild steel with zero issues. Wish I would have invested my money there originally.

Q: I'd like to bend a U shape in 16 gauge steel (1" wide strip of steel) with the bottom of the U and both sides of the U being 3/4" length?

I don't think this will meet your needs. It works by pulling a 7/16" thick bar into a V-shaped notch (but with a U-shaped bottom, not a pointed one). The bottom of the V-shaped part that the bending bar presses into is approx 3/8" wide, so I don't see how you could get your bend to be 3/4" wide. It will likely be more like 1/2"; it's hard to say with certainty without actually trying it.
