How to use a floor bender without bolting it to the floor

admin

Hi all,I got this HF floor bender a while back, $79 with a 20% off coupon, so a little over $60.  I had to figure out how to use it without bolting it to the floor.  Here's what I came up with, and my son making a bend.  Check out my channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkz...bZg8AYNXGqBjZQ"Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of arms." - Aristotle

Reply:Thats a brilliant Idea and ones that's so easy, I guess that also by standing on the wood as you bend it makes it more stable also, Great ideal when when bending long lengths but you don't want the bender permanently bolted to the floor. Its not every day you use it so its great to have it portable.Nice to See Mini IronHide taking an interest, A bit like my son, all his friends want to be Computer Programmers He wants to be a Welder Excellent

Reply:Nice clean design, well done. I wonder if anyone has drilled a 3-4" hole in a concrete floor and mounted the bender to a round pipe that will fit down in the hole....like a volleyball net pole in a school gym?  It would be easy to make a plug for the hole to keep it clean and be able to roll things over it.  Probably would have to drill another hole a few inches away to anchor a leg from the pipe stand to keep it from turning in the hole.
