- I saw one of these for sale on ebay from the US. I was tempted to buy one but the shipping cost was huge. Then I realised that it was made for imperial material, so, I thought I would just make one for myself in a metric style.

I started to make one of these years ago for a project, I drilled the holes and made the dies I needed for the project and then never got back to it. But every so often I use it and have to drill new holes and make new dies for the size I need. One day, years from now it will be complete when I do enough projects with enough different sizes. Great project!
To make the swing arm move easier while bending, make a small bushing to fit over the bending pin that fits in the swing arm holes. Doing that enables the bushing to roll against the stock being bent instead of having a friction type contact with the stock. It makes a huge difference! I love the project! Thanks for posting it! Subbed!
@5:30 ". . . _keep plenty of meat in the hole_ . ." - never a truer word spoken , haha !
Wow! Great job Gary
Cracking job Gary, and love your narration!
i have one of those too, but i just used two holes, the first is the fixed center hole and the one for the dies is an adjustable hole...................................
very nice Jig Gary, probably worth pricing one of those sets up, might get a few offers.
Awesome job Gary!! Looking forward to seeing you put it to use. Wayne
Good job, Gary. I bought one rather than build my own, and I think you designed yours well. The one thing I don't like about mine is that the holes don't pass all the way through so you're constantly getting them filled with scale and mud dauber wasp nests. As heavy as the main plate is, well, it's not very easy to always be flipping it over to knock the crud out.
Very good thinking to drill the pilot hole all the way through. You'll find that a real blessing in the days ahead.
And, you're right, they are really pricey!
Also square stock and grooved stock for bending tubing is handy. Very handy tool that does many things.
Hi Gary. Brilliant job, Interesting to watch to.
Very nice Job!
Just ran into this channel, thank God I did! Lots of useful information! Very cool!!
Love the AVE hazard sticker on your belt grinder. Great how to video!!!!!
Your narration is excellent
Hello Gary
May God bless you!
You're a dedicated teacher. I love every minute of this vdo and pray for you.

I reallyike how you made it very nice job sir!!!
Just noticed the AVE sticker on the grinder love it . Awesome job on the jig also
Very nice! Thanks for the video.
Looks like a nifty bit of kit. Great job.
Very nice!
Very nicely done!
Hello Gary
Very valuable video
Learnt a lot
Glad you enjoyed it
I tie a string to the center pin (mine was 5/8 " round). I wound the string around the center pin. Tied my silver pencil to the end of the string started the drawing spiral around until I got to the outside of the plate. Then I marked 1" center punches around the spiral. Might not be the right way but it works for me. I drill the holes 5/8" on all my tooling. Sometimes I borrow from one jig to another one. I drilled a couple of my discs off center. That way it pinches against another disc and holds what you are bending.
i forgot to say GREAT JOB GARY
Excellent video, I've made similar bending jigs with the outer pin oversize and turned down eccentric to fit the hole. Example: make your pin from 16mm and turn down to 12mm, offset in your 4 jaw chuck. You'll have 4mm of adjustment and the cam action will help lock the piece in when bending.
That's a great idea! I just need to get myself a four jaw chuck!!
@@garyhuston you can turn eccentric in a 3 jaw with shims in 1 or 2 of the jaws.
"Stop using grinders, saws & drill presses, and then see how you'll feed your family! You wont, because you'll be broke" hahaha WELL SAID! Awesome project, great job!
Very nice tool! Could you tell me how much it cost to get all the dies cut and supplied. Very well done
I like your assist handle, Smart!!!!
ingenous very nice tool
More than perfect mate👍👍
enjoyed ,great idea
Nice job, looks like a handy tool
Would love to see videos of your horses doing work! I'm interested in what they do! I think it's cool to watch them work. They're very strong.
I’m sorry but I don’t have any horses.
@@garyhuston Oh! Oops!
Impressive... good job.
Gary, Nice job. If you can find a way to make a hole template, I will buy it. Cheers.
Just ran across your channel...Good Stuff Thanks
to make a pattern use gasket paper and two ballpien hammers to transfer to gasket paper - use round end of ballpien over hole to transfer hole to paper by tapping round end down hammer - once you get first hole use pin to hold in place to continue
making the pattern isn't the problem, transferring it to a CAD program is!
@@garyhuston I know this is a pretty old video, but if you photograph the paper transfer from the above-mentioned technique, along with an item of known size, you can scale the photo precisely, then use it as a template for CAD.
Do you have any of these for sale (UK) ??? what would it cost to buy one from ya if you did? (just setting up shop & don't have all the kit to make one as yet)
No sorry, I just made the one.
@@garyhuston Ahhh no worries!
I'm trying to understand why you didn't have the holes laser cut at the same time as the other cutting. Surely all the working out could have been done on card and transferred to the cad drawing. What am I missing?
Given the range of material sizes, would it not be better to have one locking pin hole for each size die and a range of sleaves for the locking pin to accommodate the varying material thickness? This way you only have one to two locking pin holes in the plate for each die size.
I love the idea of having a similar jig and plan to make one as well/ Just trying to simplify it and make it as cost effective as possible.
I did try to draw it out in CAD, not to get the holes cut but to make a paper pattern I could just transfer to the plate but it was just too time consuming, it turned out quicker with the punch tool I made. The reason I didn’t get them cut is that they are not accurate enough and the process hardens the edge so trying to file them out if they are a little off is almost impossible. I had the center holes cut and ruined a carbide burr trying to open them up just a fraction. I think I know what you mean , have one hole 60mm from the edge of each die then have a series of sleeves getting fatter to reduce the gap back down fro 16mm to 3mm. I think that would work but it wouldn't give you the possibility to do multiple bends at once. you could only do the one. I like your idea but I think this way is much more versatile.
@@garyhuston I think I can tell you what Nathan means. Instead of potentially drilling up to 7 holes per die (for the 7 different stock thicknesses you intent to use) simply drill one hole per die marked from the 16mm piece of stock.
You then make up difference by mounting another die/sleeve on the locking pin/hardened steel dowel. So for working with 2mm stock in this arrangement you would use your current die for the bend radius and then another die/sleeve on the other dowel with a radius of 19mm (14mm between the pin and the edge of the die plus 6mm for the dowel minus 1mm of 'wiggle room').
This would require a set of /dies/sleeves for each size of stock you intend to use of increasing size for decreasing stock size but would have saved you a bit of drilling.
Hopes this has cleared things up and not made it worse.
Cool project that’ll really speed up the monotony of the batch work
Would it be possible to have a square die that could make a right angle bend?
That’s easy, but not with this tool.
Great job
I'm curious as to how much the material and cutting cost compared to buying and shipping.
Just over half the price of buying and shipping from the US
I think this is brilliant. You could sell the heck out of these.
someone already does on your side of the pond, but they are imperial which is why I made a metric one!
Ukon Rauta Ironworks sure could! If there weren’t already 163 other companies already mass producing and selling the heck out of them!😂 Really though this is a great video, inspirational and well executed. I think that really was the point...that and the whole metric thing.😉
maybe not that original, but I like your creativity in succeeding.
Don't care you've measured it in metric,,the idea is the same,I have a big 1" plate I've been wondering what I'd use it for,,now I know,,thanks for sharing
As you say, the principle is exactly the same for imperial. Go for it!
Brilliant
Nice jig Gary, you can improve on the 'F' fork by adding a roller bearing on the pin you welded the wing nut to. You can see it trying to spin on it's own as is, the bearing will smooth things out for you. Kind of similar to the precursor of the Hossfeld bender. Speaking of, machine mart do a clone of the Hossfeld for about a hundred quid or so. Have you seen them? Not as many options in diameter of the bends but a good starting point, and you have a lathe to make more dies if you wanted, they also do 90 degree bends too.
Ian Lowe never seen one, I’ll take a look
@@garyhuston www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-ccb1b-compact-bench-mounted-parts-bende/ I've had the floor mounted version for years, but sadly don't have a lathe to make more dies for it. Still a handy bit of kit though. Comes with round dies in 25, 32, 38, 44, 51, 64, and 76 mm
plus the right angle die. They say it'll bend flat bar cold from 8 x 32mm to 7 x 51mm and round or square bar up to 16mm. Does a lot thicker if it's hot, you just have to watch getting the hardened pins too hot.
Very nice
nice work Gary, nice. that there was a whole lotta work, but it's gonna pay you back saved time by the bucketload. mate, you're a cluey bugger! something to aspire to. I'll put thjs on my list.. and that's a loooonng list, believe me!
btw, i love the sticker on your belt grinder, that's a classic: "danger- not to be operated by fuckwits"
i need more than one
Looking want one
Would've changed one thing, and one thing only. Drawing lines to keep things neat and organized with the minimum loss of meat around the holes.
Awesome!
Hola desde argentina muy interesante el video muy bueno me encanta tu taller me gustaría tener uno así haría muchas cosas saludos gracias
I am a bit disappointed that you made the holes in the "F-bar" about 1" apart instead of making them about 25.4 mm apart. 🤔😂 Nice project. Looking forward to many more. Cheers from Oz.
Im not sure we have welders pencils in the states. We do use soapstone which isnt as fine and accurate. Like to get my hands on some.
Take a look in my amazon store.
We do, Mechanical ones made by Markal called Silver Streak. Menards sells the wooden silver marking pencils
Will do thanks you all!
several types of welder pencils on amazon
Stick the round soapstone in a pencil sharpener! Been doing it for 42 years! VERY accurate!
Crack’in cool!
👍
Very nicely done!!
