What would be the best way to bend 10mm mild steel bar to form hoops for wrought iron railing? Is there a cheap bender on the market which would do the job? I have looked on Ebay but not sure which bender would be best. Thank you for any help .
They will bend round a former, just as Gordon has suggested, but you do need to keep it pulled in tightly. If you have a good amount to do, you could build a simple bar bender, A fixed centre former, with a pivoting arm, and an outer guide.
