Great video, very clear and detailed explanation!! 👍👍 I don't have my bender yet, but when I get it, i have to do a few brackets (similar to pipe hangers). I'm guessing i do the half-moon curved bend first and then the 90's on either side. I've got some scrap strapping to practice on first. 😉😁
5/16 x 2 on round dies 3/16 x 2 on the 90° "Horrible Fate" bender, done it for the last 15 years, no problem, just use grease or Caster cutting wax in the tube, excellent cutting metal working lub., I use my bender to do modifyed "guided bend tests" on welded coupons, when testing different filler metals and base metals.
bonjour, j’écris en fançais car ça semble bien ta langue maternelle. Je viens de recevoir une plieuse comme la tienne et tes explications sont simples et faciles à comprendre, merci
It's all about leverageIt's all about leverage,, That's why the handle extends out ... Work smarter not harder !!! Take a series of magnets 🧲 for temporary stops .. Also as levers to keep leval and horizontal when you start your bend ...
Bending round stock will damage the machine. Depending on the diameter of your material, you can bend in a vice using a pipe. Thicker material will require heat or a shop press.
No video on round stock. I make a jig and tack weld it to the table. Won’t be making videos anymore since covid is done and it’s back to regular teaching.
Thank you for the post. What bender would one use to bend up to 90 degree angles in 1/8" flat stock that is 4" wide?? ps..I dont think the head of your square survived the making of this video!😂😂
A heavy brake, probably hydraulic. Could probably also do it with 1/4 angle iron and oxy-acetylene. It’s tough to bend thicker than 16 gauge at home without buying expensive specialized equipment.
