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

Use for:

  • Bending rod and flat bar, capacity dependent on the jig.
  • 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.
Warning Safety glasses Eye protection required!

Operation Notes

  • 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.
acorn
Use of the vise to hold a multipurpose bending tool (video link below.)
