Making a Simple Metal Bender / Brake

In this video I'll make my own metal bender. The one I make can bend about 65cm wide sheet of metal, but the desing is easy to make longer or shorter. The angle iron I use is 5cm x 5cm and 5mm thick. I would recommend using at least this size of angle iron, unless the desing is much smaller because smaller angle iron might bend and make the bends not as accurate. Commercial metal brake of this size goes for around $200 and can't make boxes like this one can, so making one yourself often makes the sense if you have the tools for it.

In the bad, nobodies going to watch it sense.

Certainly beats hammering something out in a vice hoping it actually turns out to be the right shape... :P

our man made his own springs and wingnuts to lengthen this video

I love watching you fabricate stuff! It's so cool to see how different minds tackle projects.

Sensacional o restaurador

Excelente! 😁

Why didnt you heat the rod to bend it?

[@alancalvillo6756]

That is one good Metal Bender

[@biffabacon8860]

maybe put a dot over the welds so your audience doesn't go blind?

You cannot go blind from watching videos of welding, look it up.
