Made One Of These Today

admin

made a metal bending attachment for my 20 ton press today. works pretty good. Base plate 1/4", bending channels 3/4" x 2" about 2" apart, Bending plate 3/8" and 1/2" bolts, 1/2" pipe and springs. Welded with lincoln buzz box at 175 amps with 7018 rod. Bent a piece of 1/2" x 2" for a test piece, took it right to a 90 and i did it slow. Probally won't bend anything that thick in the future but I had to test it. Like I said works pretty well and I have about $40 into to it all together. Didn't have large enough scrap to make one so I bought new stock. Attached Images

Reply:Dang that's neat. I have a 12 ton but it should do the little stuff I work with.How about designing a tubing bender for your press that I can copy. []
