DIY Sheet Metal Brake

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 เม.ย. 2016
  • I built this sheet metal bender to fabricate one of my on-going projects windowsills / tins. It just takes much more time to order these from a local tin specialized company and wait for them to make'em rather than fabricate a special bender and make them myself. It was a matter of a full days job. We are quite happy with the result. #bending #sheetmetal #metalbending #brake #metalbrake #DIY #homemade #DonnDIY #eestiyoutuber

    Looks great! Does the job well & you can stand it up in a corner out of the way when not in use.

    You got to love this guy , like Da vinci , in his shop even though cold outside ,wearing a head toque still performing tasks so we in Canada and the rest of the world can see how to make things. Donn you are a very inspiring young man even scale as Jordan Peterson from Canada. I really love all your projects , just wish I had enough time to do some of them. Ben Epp Alberta

    • @DonnDIY
      @DonnDIY  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Due to the small corner I work in the barn that can be heated temporarily like a green house I have to have portable tools that mainly grip in the vise like this bender. They take up small amounts of room when not used. Welder becomes handy indeed. It would be hard to fabricate something without one. Thanks for watching! ;)

    • @DonnDIY
      @DonnDIY  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +BisdremisKostas For the one-time use it's pretty good, but when working with it all the time I would install foot clamp system so I could hold the sheet in place with one of my feet. Right now I'm using just two nuts and a center "jack" right now to hold the sheet in place while bending. But I'm not using it that often so it works fine for me.

    @davidgenthnerjr4995 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    What would you say is the maximum thickness this would bend? I do a lot of body work and this would be excellent for making 16-18 gauge patch panels if it can handle 16 gauge, which most inexpensive ones don't.

    • @DonnDIY
      @DonnDIY  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      So 16 gauge is 1.59 mm. It might bend it but not the full width I guess. Would be better if it was made from thicker material.
