    I built something like this a few years ago out of scrap bits I had laying around. I used 1/4 round for the pins (because that's what I had). It worked great until I went past it's limits and bent one of the pins. I'm getting ready to do another project that needs some round bar bent. You have inspired me to build a new one with beefier materials.

    A little tip for those looking to build this, lots of stuff you bend may not need the 30" handle. Make one about 20" and just have a piece of pipe you can slide over the end if needed.

  • @elikemohammed7181
    @elikemohammed7181 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Always a good video. When I made mine, I spread the pins out just a little bit and then made some bushings to go over them to tighten it up when needed.

    • @CrusaderSports250
      @CrusaderSports250 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      With the bushing on the handle pin and a piece of angle or box on the pivot pin you can get an even tighter bend on thin stuff.

    Just made this tool out of scrap laying around my garage. Welded 1/4" plate together for the flat pieces. For the studs I used 1/2" grade 8 bolts and cut the heads/threaded parts off. So far I've gotten it to bend up to 1/4" thick 1-1/2" wide flat bar with little effort. One modification I did make was welding the studs on both sides since they were becoming misaligned when bending. Doing the extra weld seemed to help prevent bending. I placed my studs 1/2" apart.

    What is even more impressive with this is Jess was pulling most of those bends with her hands halfway down the handlebar, meaning she wasn't putting very much torque into the action. Despite the 3/16 bar still bending without too much effort it would've been even easier if she had moved both her hands further away down to the far end of the handlebar.

    Just discovered your channel. Have been thinking about making one of that style bender for a while. I'll likely be using 5/8"x2-1/2" bar that I've got out back.
    Which welding table is that? I bought one similar off Amazon recently, and while assembling it was dissapointed to find the screws that hold the top surface on stick up above the top(without any bit of countersinking at all). It's worked fine for the one project I've built with it, but may be an issue with larger projects.

  • @AXNJXN1
    @AXNJXN1 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Yes, this project works fine for very small 'products' and very, very thin materials. That weld on the bottom of those pins and including those pins' thickness themselves are ONLY for small materials. If you're looking at bending 3/8" rebar or thicker, this will break and bend those pins on the first attempt. I've made several of these 'benders' and you need deep penetration onto where the pins are being welded - period. Nice project overall for very light material.

    • @madgingercustoms
      @madgingercustoms  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I have only used it for exhaust hangers and some other smaller strap and its been working great! I build a press brake on the channel and big stuff goes in that!

    • @ravenbarsrepairs5594
      @ravenbarsrepairs5594 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The welds on the pins penetration is less of an issue if THICK plate is used, as the plate supports the pins.
