How to bend flat steel bar
Sharing buttons:
it's often difficult bending steel
without the correct equipment this is a
piece of five millimeter by 25
millimeter steel bar as you can see it
is painted on one side because it is
actually a piece of scrap metal I'm
actually going to use this in another
project that I'm making so I need to
actually bend it at 90 degrees if you've
got much thicker than this you're gonna
have to eat it off before you actually
bend it what we're going to call Bend
this and put a 90 degree Bend on it
so I'm going to use the square I'm going
to push that to where I want the actual
Bend to be I'm going to take a scrubber
and scribe a line across there it's
quite easy to see this because it is
painted so now we have a perfectly
square line where we need to bend the
metal when I'm going to put this in the
vise we need to align our lay on a piece
of metal so that it is dead aligned with
the top of the jar on the vise and then
we need to tighten all device it needs
to be very tight when I'm going to take
a long time and we're going to into the
piece of metal that will Bend it on that
line or somewhere around that area
now that looks about 90 degrees so I'll
just tear that out check out with the
square you'll see that that is bent to
90 degrees so that's how to bend it
without eating it up of course you need
a good vise and a good bench to do it
and also an idiot hammer
