Great video, very clear and detailed explanation!! 👍👍 I don't have my bender yet, but when I get it, i have to do a few brackets (similar to pipe hangers). I'm guessing i do the half-moon curved bend first and then the 90's on either side. I've got some scrap strapping to practice on first. 😉😁
5/16 x 2 on round dies 3/16 x 2 on the 90° "Horrible Fate" bender, done it for the last 15 years, no problem, just use grease or Caster cutting wax in the tube, excellent cutting metal working lub., I use my bender to do modifyed "guided bend tests" on welded coupons, when testing different filler metals and base metals.

It's all about leverageIt's all about leverage,, That's why the handle extends out ... Work smarter not harder !!! Take a series of magnets 🧲 for temporary stops .. Also as levers to keep leval and horizontal when you start your bend ...
Bending round stock will damage the machine. Depending on the diameter of your material, you can bend in a vice using a pipe. Thicker material will require heat or a shop press.
No video on round stock. I make a jig and tack weld it to the table. Won’t be making videos anymore since covid is done and it’s back to regular teaching.
Thank you for the post. What bender would one use to bend up to 90 degree angles in 1/8" flat stock that is 4" wide?? ps..I dont think the head of your square survived the making of this video!😂😂
A heavy brake, probably hydraulic. Could probably also do it with 1/4 angle iron and oxy-acetylene. It’s tough to bend thicker than 16 gauge at home without buying expensive specialized equipment.
The best explication of this I’ve EVER seen!...thanks
This is how metal work should be taught. Great job. 👍
I have watched many many videos about how to use this bender. I finally was able to bend a 90 after watching this video. Thank you for your help.
I like how detailed you were. It's good for a beginner like me. Thank you for a great video.
Not sure why all the other videos can't explain where to put the pins and blocks. All I needed thanks 👍🏼

Me gusta mucho tu explicación. Gracias.
cool video i have one of these benders ive never used , now i need to bend something.
OK , OK , OK. OK 👌
Ok,okay,okayed

De rien mon ami !
So, okay?! This video was exactly what I needed, okay?! Keep up the good help, okay?! Make hats and shirts that say; okay?!
Keep kickin as brother!
Very clear and nice explanation....it really was very useful for me...keep up the good work parthner, greetings from Chihuahua Mx.
Hola - from Michigan!
Thank you for this.
I've got harbor freight floor bender I bend 1/4×2 and 1/4×1 1/2 all day no problem
same here as per spec. "Horrible Fate" bender here too. 5/16 on the round dies, 3/16 90°
Gracias!

Good idea Steve. Thanks for that!
Very good job!! Thank you.
What was that metal piece you used to make corrections?
How do you build make a 36-in or 48-in circle
A slip roll. Works great for 16 gauge or thinner.
What is the idea of the shim under the flat? Thanks for the video.
To keep all components on the same work plane.
So that the lower leg of the bending arm can rotate under it.
Im surprised there arent any angle marks on the bender to help keep you true
Because different materials and different dies would make it off
Great video! please can you tell me what are the diameters of small and big holes in frames? Thanks a lot
small: 3/8", big: 11/16"
@@andrecyr2627 Thanks a lot
@@andrecyr2627 3/8" = 10 mm and 11/16" = 18 mm.
Hello you said on this video it’s not for round stock is that true only flat stock?
Bending round stock with this device will damage it.
Odd, I have bent 5/8 many times, no damage.
Well you can bend round stock, but it will damage your dies. Up to you to decide if it’s worth it or not.
Wonder about some indication lines on the stand to show angles as you're bending so you don't have to keep taking the work piece out to check?
That's a good idea!
thats what the holes are for on the ring around the bending arm. you can drop a pin in the hole and stop your bend at a repeatable spot.
@@fakiirification thanks for the comment about dropping in the pin,how many people are making these videos without really knowing about that feature
Cheap bender… good idea!
Wonder about heating up the stock to make it bend easier?
No need to heat up stock that is 1/8" thick or less. Definitely heat up anything 3/16" or thicker.
Don’t need to heat up 1/8 steel. I would not bend 3/16 or thicker cold with a compact bender.
Kay!
Did you do a video on round stock? Would this bend rebar?

Rebar would mar your dies. Not a good idea if you want to keep everything in good condition. Bending rebar in a vice with oxy-acetylene works well.
Don’t go bowling loaded, eh! Hoser.
OKAY...
Dam you talk to much dude! I learned from your video but boy was it painful!
Glad you learned something!
OK Eh
