Looks great! Does the job well & you can stand it up in a corner out of the way when not in use.

Nice and thnx from Suriname, simple and easy

You got to love this guy , like Da vinci , in his shop even though cold outside ,wearing a head toque still performing tasks so we in Canada and the rest of the world can see how to make things. Donn you are a very inspiring young man even scale as Jordan Peterson from Canada. I really love all your projects , just wish I had enough time to do some of them. Ben Epp Alberta

Hi Donn. Just found your channel. You make some great interesting useful pieces of machinery. Watching more from now on.

Excellent! Worked great! I liked the metal snip that you placed in the vice also. Thanx for sharin'!

Great work. I hope my attempt comes close to yours. It will be my first project with my new everlast mig welder.

great man that's why you Donn diy demonstrate every step this project

I love watching amateur diyers! Reminds me of all the things my metalwork teacher drummed into us what not to do!

Genial, gracias por compartir.

You did a great job on this. I want to make a brake too. You can accomplish a lot with a grinder, an everlast and some metal.

Due to the small corner I work in the barn that can be heated temporarily like a green house I have to have portable tools that mainly grip in the vise like this bender. They take up small amounts of room when not used. Welder becomes handy indeed. It would be hard to fabricate something without one. Thanks for watching! ;)

Just a fantastic project and a great product to your windows. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family

yea sheet metal benders are really handy when you need them

Скоро и я себе его сделаю!)))

What would you say is the maximum thickness this would bend? I do a lot of body work and this would be excellent for making 16-18 gauge patch panels if it can handle 16 gauge, which most inexpensive ones don't.

@DonnDIY

6 жыл бұрын

So 16 gauge is 1.59 mm. It might bend it but not the full width I guess. Would be better if it was made from thicker material.

Wisz, my friend, a great job, can you give the dimensions of these materials for the construction of this bent machine.

thank you for your work . great project. if would you build this again is there anything that you would do differently ? i mean is there any weak point in this design? i m trying to design something similar and i need ideas :)

@DonnDIY

8 жыл бұрын

+BisdremisKostas For the one-time use it's pretty good, but when working with it all the time I would install foot clamp system so I could hold the sheet in place with one of my feet. Right now I'm using just two nuts and a center "jack" right now to hold the sheet in place while bending. But I'm not using it that often so it works fine for me.

Very ,very Nice

Yes you could but you would have to stiffen it up pretty good and reinforce the bending faces with metal or a composite material also make sure the sheet is not too cold and the forming radius is not too tight

No worries! I feel the awe of the spinning chuck and know the consequences of hooked sleeve. I usually roll'em up, at least on the hand that's closer to the chuck and don't fiddle around there for no reason. I use the shop usually when it's cold outside, the cold eventually cools down the whole building and I need to wear long sleeves so I don't get hypothermia.
