I appreciate that

[@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

[@TheExpertAmateur]

[@TheExpertAmateur]

Glad you like it

[@kevinhornbuckle]

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.

Как можно работать болгаркой без защиты

[@TheExpertAmateur]

это мой отец на видео, я знаю, как это неправильно, но он не слушает

[@KamalKamal-oi2dj]

How March price

[@TheExpertAmateur]

I don't know what you mean

[@NicodupPlessis]

I dont know the length .

[@TheExpertAmateur]

it can be as much as you need it to be. This video is just an idea

[@1scottdees]

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

[@samuelaraya2171]

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

[@TheExpertAmateur]

I know it's super wrong

[@aspmos]

improper use of an angle grinder, THIS IS DANGEROUS

[@TheExpertAmateur]

absolutely, never use it this way !
