Experiment with what’s available, and feel free to add to the collection.
Use for:

- Bend curves, angles, and freeform shapes.
Do Not Use for:
- Bending welded or excessively work hardened metals.
You can try, but it may not go well!
Hazard Analysis
- Metal can snap while bending, and flakes of rust, mill scale, or paint can become airborne. Eye protection required.
- Pinched fingers, skin.
- Cuts / Scrapes from sharp cut edges of the workpiece.
- Cuts / Scrapes / bruises if care is not taken to prevent metal stock from slipping during the bending process.

Operation Notes
| |
|---|---|
| Shop-made bending tool collection |
- The Metal Shop has a collection of shop-made jigs, many inspired by YouTube videos.
- In general, watch the jig. If you see that the jig is bending (as opposed to your material bending), you’ve exceeded the jig’s capacity.
- If your material is the same size or thicker than the material used to make the jig, you run the risk of bending the jig instead of your material.
| |
|---|---|
| Use of the vise to hold a bending tool |
Videos
| |
|---|---|
| Multipurpose bending tool |
The shop has a lighter duty version of this with a base that fits into the holes of the Acorn Tables.
- This Jig can also be placed in a vise. (See above)
- Free free to construct additional accessories for this jig.
