[@elieabouchaaya2787]

If only i had a big space to make it my own personal workshop, i would definitly make this project my first. Its versatile and useful

[@TheExpertAmateur]

my place is your place man

[@ShaunHavoc]

Thanks for posting, I’ve used this and a couple other vids to make my own design to suit my space. Cheers

thank you

This is a great video and I really leared a lot from it. Thanks! I dont like to mention this but I would be really careful about using an angle grinder without a guard. Ive seen some very bad things happen where I have brought people to the hospital. Out of all of the tools I have, the angle grinder is the one I fear the most. Sorry to mention that as it is a geat video and thanks.

[@TheExpertAmateur]

your comment is highly appreciated =) that's my dad in the video and I always tell him the same thing 🤦🏻

Can i bend 1.2mm stainless sheet for this diy bender what is the size of the angle bar

[@TheExpertAmateur]

if it was other than stainless I would say definitely yes, but its known that stainless is really hard to bend. The angle bar we used is 5mm.

[@akshaymestry9336]

What thickness and material you are bending?

[@TheExpertAmateur]

in this case its 1mm sheet metal

[@starpetrus2949]

Can it bent a sheet for a thickness of 2mm

[@TheExpertAmateur]

I'm sorry for the late reply... a 2 mm sheet needs a much stronger build than this one I'm afraid, plus even if we build a stronger build to this same design, operating it manually (with your own hands) is going to be tough.

Turn your cutoff tool over. Spray those sparks away from yourself. Work on the rear of the disk pulling toward yourself.

[@TheExpertAmateur]

thank you appreciate it

[@1scottdees]

@@TheExpertAmateur the other nice aspect is if it binds up it will pull away from you rather than kicking back into your fingers.

[@TheExpertAmateur]

I know it's not safe! but my father been using it his own way for years he doesn't listen much when I tell him (its him in the video)

[@1scottdees]

@@TheExpertAmateur regardless of how he holds his cutoff tool. I enjoyed watching him work.

[@jeffinparayil2604]

Please send me a detailed plans

[@TheExpertAmateur]

sorry man, we don't have any plans it was made on the spot

[@aspmos]

improper use of an angle grinder, THIS IS DANGEROUS

[@TheExpertAmateur]

absolutely, never use it this way !

[@samuelaraya2171]

sin guantes , sin la protección del esmeril 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽

[@TheExpertAmateur]
