Operation Notes

tools laid out
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.
