Has anybody got a samson angle bender?

[Woody.v8]

I've acquired one today but the vice block and pin are missing, has anyone got one that they could take some measurements from please?

That looks very much like my mates. If it’s not the same it’s a close copy. What do you need?

I need the dimensions of the eccentric vice pin and the vice block itself so I can make them, I could have a good guess but I'd like to keep it as close to original as possible.

I have to go there before the end of the week. I will look.

As a backup plan B, have a look on Google images for pictures of what you want. You can often scale things from a photo and having an original at hand to measure will allow you to calibrate any scaling you do.

If you’ve a smart phone there’s an app where you put a known measurement on a picture and it’ll give you others.

fusion 360 will do it as well

I sold mine a while ago. Think I used it three times! Bloody marvellous piece of kit, I sold it to a blacksmith who had been hunting for one to make railings. He was going to use it ‘hot’ though it bends cold stock well too.

PM me and I'll also send photo's....

Thanks for the pictures but that one looks a different set up, the one I have is the same as @Dieselkid 63 one, I've stole his picture if he doesn't mind.

.Looks a Lighter model the flapping plate upright seems a fair bit lighter and no movable block either

 

[Woody.v8]

I have all the dimensions I require now thanks to @frank horton Thanks
I will update when I've made them.

 

[James1979]

Yes, mine was the light duty model! Still a beast. I bent 10mm cold in it to see if it would, worked fine.

They are a hell of a tool

Sorry I couldn’t respond quickly,had a bit of an emergency occur.
I’m more than happy to help if you need any more dimensions.
