Metal Parts Bender - Large rings and scrolls

I’ve had a couple of comments asking if the machine will bend large diameter rings or scrolls and the answer is not really but if it’s a one off you might be able to achieve what you want.
So if you’re looking to buy a machine and want to bend large rings or scrolls this isn’t the machine you want.
But if you already have the machine and you want to bend large rings or scrolls there is a sort of method!

I bought my bender at harbor frightened many years ago and they sold a scroll maker for the top of the bender, I use it for making ornamental blanket racks, hanging baskets ect. I am not sure if they sell the attachment, it has limiter capacity 1x 1/8? that's the bar stock I use.

Ah, nice! I tried to find a link to somewhere that sells them here in the UK so i could add it in the description but no luck. There’s a company that sells a complete standalone device that does the same thing though. When I worked for the college we had the run of the plumbing, welding, vehicle repair, timber trades and masonry departments and with an annual summer break of 7 weeks with no students and thus not so much work it was like craft heaven 😂 I also got to do all my qualifications for free (you could apply for any course they ran and they’d sponsor you). Unfortunately the pay was shocking so after about 5 years i moved on and the place has long since closed. Thanks for the info on your setup 👍
