Vice mounted metal bender

[chunkywelder]

This is my homemade vice mounted sheet metal bender which will bend sheet metal up to 50cm in length or even something as tough as a circular saw blade it is great for various Fabrication jobs I keep giving myself



this is the finished bender



bending a saw blade



Welding the clamp bar



Drilling clamp bolt holes



Attaching it all together



Making the handle

All pictures were captured from my youtube video which can be viewed here

I use a jigsaw when I want to cut round corners, how does the circular saw thing work ?

Nice little bender, I've made a few as I needed them but always ended up recycling them when I get short of angle for something else.

Mine is home made. Bought ones are garbage until you start spending money.
I can bend up to 600mm 1 MM thick.
I've bent 3mm x 50mm flat bar in it nice sharp bends no probs. Had it a few years now. I've notoced yours only has 1 handle. I think it's better with 2.
More even pulling power from both sides. Lovely job mind.

Used mine today..been outside Nd all rusty as it was on a test prototype and I intended to make a nice looking one. But it did the job. Lol

Mines no thing of beauty but it puts a nice tight bend in sheet.
