Metal Bending

admin

I saw Riley McMillan at Canton Texas at Trade Days. He was demonstrating a chair mounted, metal bending machine. I think it was price under $100.00. I've got a business card for him, but the Lancaster, TX number is no longer his. If you are out there or know him, can someone put him in touch with me so I can get one of these machines? Thanks.

Reply:Hello Halon.  I live in Pennsylvania now.  I don't make those benders anymore.   Did my last Canton Trade Days close to three years ago after a ten year run.  It was great fun and I sold a bunch of the little suckers.Thanks for asking.
Reply:how about sharing some trade secrets so we can make some for our selves. we are always looking for a better home made bender. summer is here, plant a tree for mother earth. if you dont have time or space, sponcer some one else to plant one for you.feel free to shoot me a PM or e-mail me at [email][email protected] i got lots of time.
Reply:Just a smaller version of a hossfeld type of bender.  I did have an offset sleeve that I generally refered to as the "hinge tool".  I will post some pictures in the near future of the bender and also a mini hay baler I'm working on.  I've got to get some help from my sweet wife since I am an idiot on the computer.  There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day.

Reply:Harbor freight for the money has a nice bending tool I don't think time and materials would be any less expensive.

Reply:fun4now,   The Shop Outfitters compact bender has dies available to bend round and square tubing.Here's a link to their site that has the dies available. I don't know what size or thickness you are wanting to bend but they go up to 1.25" round and square.Tubing Dies- Paulhttp://all-a-cart.comWelding Cart Kits and accessories
