I have a 'Miracle' type bar bender which I would like to use outside of my workshop as sometimes it is necessary to put a bend on each end of a fairly long length of steel and my workshop layout just doesn't allow room to do this. I was thinking of mounting it onto a piece of RSJ which could be either fixed into a concrete base in which case I would want to make the bender quickly removable or alternatively, have the bender fixed to the RSJ and have a socket or similar in the concrete that this could then be dropped into. My concern with this is that it needs to be a relatively snug fit to keep the assembly from being wobbly etc and the associated problems of keeping the socket rust free and useable. Just thought that I would ask for any ideas that you may have used as I expect that this is a far from uncommon problem.
I know that the bender is a far from precision piece of equipment but am loathe to leave it outside on the end of the post with a bucket over it.
