DIY Sheet Metal Bender - Bending (Plans available)

Plans: https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/998022110/plans-for-a-diy-sheet-metal-bender?ref=shop_home_active_1

Like always, I have something in my head and than I start to build it and while building, other ideas come to me.
And than after that i draw the plans.
Worked our very well this time 😁
I wanted to make it as small and smart as possible. At the moment its possible to Bend 750mm long and maximum of 1,5mm thick steel, shorter should be 2mm possible. To build it for 1m should be also possible.
To turn the Bending (hold-down angle) die (1mm or 2,5mm) for a bigger bending radius is very importend for thicker Aluminium (upcoming projects). If its to small, it could happen that it will break.
To screw it on the my weldingtable and have a flat workspace was very importend for me.
I have built a second hold-down-angle device that I can change if necessary. I'll use this if I have to make some boxes....I will ad more and more cut out when i needed it.

As always, I had a lot of fun with this project.

I hope it inspires you for similar projects

Take care
Dirk
