I can see your not that old, I wish I had an apprentice like you. In years to come I'm sure you're refine your skills more and be a great engineer. Good Luck and keep sharing
Simple, effective, gets the job done. Great job. A few pointers: flux core is great to weld with, it gets great penetration. Keep practicing your consistency, the weld beads look like they are coming along. When you design a system like this the reaction forces get pretty large, try different designs when weldments carry the entire load. Instead of simple square weldments design parts that have rounded features at the bottom to increase the length of the weld and avoid stress concentration points like sharp corners. You can also utilize designs that rely on mechanical support (fasters and physical stops) to carry part of the load opposed to just the weld. You're doing good work. Keep at it.
On your square tube die, try putting a raised bit in the middle. I made a square tube die years ago and found it worked much better once I added a raised section, something like a bit of 5x5mm square wrapped around on the centre line. When you start bending the tube it curves the inner bend wall inwards giving the material somewhere to go instead of bulging out the sides.
Radius the edge of the cavities in your dies. It will stop cutting the tube. I used to build this type of tooling for the automotive industry. It works.
Du travail serieux et beaucoup de précision, mais il faut être un spécialiste en tout genre et avoir du matériel (poste de soudure, tour à métaux, ect...etc) bon et bien faites le compte sans l'achat de tout le reste😮😮
Yes, I was impressed not only by the build and the quality of it but also by many of the "tricks" you use in the process of the build. I've never seen before or thought. Nice, and Thank You!
awesome build, I think the only thing I would change is the protractor, to make it bigger so you can see it all the way around the bend In school metal works I built a steerable sledge out steel tubing and this machine would have been priceless for that. It was triangular and needed a lot of bends that I had to do by hand (It looked great but wasn't strong enough and I ripped one of the ski's off lol) Thanks for sharing
I wonder if the bottle jack would operate the required torque if it was still a manual handle pump bottle jack? This is a very nice home made bender, heavy steel construction and nice lathe work. Thank you for making great video.
@@madeingarage7040an air over hydraulic power unit or treadle might be an option for you because you already have an air compressor and they’re under $200 for 10000 psi
It would make a massive difference if you explained what you are doing and why, it's your job to make it interesting, we're not all engineers but like to watch you guys.
Decades ago, when I had to submit my final project for my degree in engineering, I first thought everything had gone well... It was about tube bending, then my professor told me that I forgot to take into account the elasticity of the metal... If you try to bend anything a little, it will bounce back, to make sure it stays deformed, you have to go in plastic deformation. If you want a 90 degrees bend, you will have to go further than 90, say 92-93, depending on the metal. Otherwise the "bounce back" will give you a 88 degrees bend just like we see on your examples. Learn from my mistake! 🙂
Also, change the locking die to aluminum instead of steel. My bender has them and it doesn’t scar up or scratch the bending metals. Also, maybe flip the locking hook/hold down to the top or goes over the pipe then after release just flip it to a up position. That way you’re not fighting the piece getting out after it’s bent. I’m a big fan of this channel. Love your work
You build some really cool projects here. I'd love to see what you could do with access to precision machine tools, like a metal lathe and milling machine!
Really cool. Only comment would be to add an inverse arrow to the angle gauge so you can see the angle once the marker is covered by the stock. Nice vid👍 was hoping to make one myself but definitely need a lathe first it seems to do it this way atleast
They say "Necessity is the mother of invention" and i agree! I build certain things and love the challenge and the reward myself! Would rather build it even when it can be bought cause manufactured stuff isnt quality and quality is out of my price point! Nice brother!!! Sick build!!! Youre talented and I'd so buy one off ya if possible! Hope to one day get to ur level!
This is great. I like the bottle jack idea. You are only bound by how good the weld is on the chain anchor point to the side of the case. 25mm of as good penetration weld is good for 1 ton. The tensile strength of the lug should be fine. Have you tried on heavier gauge wall?
Good Post & Share! Takes Skill and Ambition to make your own bender. Keep up the good work and keep building on your skills, you have metal in your veins!!👍👍
EXCELENTE !!!!! si no fuese mas pobre que las ratas te compraría la cortadora de plasma, las personas como vos deberían ser reconocidas y recibir la colaboración de los que tienen.
@@madeingarage7040 yes, we can see that. But to the beginner like me, it is not obvious what you did. Why not keep the hydraulic cylinder as it was originally?
@@madeingarage7040 All it shows is taking it apart putting 2 welds somewhere that we can't see and putting it back together? Doesn't explain anything?
@@pjdruz5636there’s a small valve that prevents the jack from suddenly dropping the weight it supports (safety). Removing it is how he was able to get the faster extension for his application.
The power supply for the bending machine is the power steering pump from the car. It is powered by 12V and draws a maximum of 60A. It produces a pressure of 100 bar.
Good to have for sure but for the plate he's working with no. Take that $200 and don't walk... RUN and get a handheld metal cutting circular saw in 7.25inch cold cut type with carbide teeth. Cheap saw, cheap blades, no grinding, no warping, no abrasive wheel dust OMGTY, blades last forever compared to abrasives and way faster. Then with all that money you save on cut off wheels get the cheapest TIG you can find and use the wire gun for tacking mostly. Your cleanup time will all but disappear.
@@madeingarage7040 Very true. But a $200 plasma won't cut the material cleanly over about 10mm if that. I have a 40 amp plasma and it's great but for the plate in this build I would walk past it and pick up my $90 Chinese saw and cut it quickly and cleanly. The work doesn't even get hot, all heat goes into the chips.
@@madeingarage7040 Even that is low I thought so good work on your math. Not sure what size the chain is or the cylinder bore but I'm guessing less than 4000 lbs, (1800kg) force on the chain max which should be fine. I subscribed immediatly when I saw how you where going about things which took all of one minute of this the first vid of yours I have seen. Oh and the vid production quality and style is great too.
Need a ridge on the square tube die to "pre-dent" the tube so it deforms in a controlled manner, rather than just a crush bend. Also, you have to account for a couple of degrees over, depending on the wall thickness for "spring back"
Excellent fabbing 👍, how easily will you be able to repair/replace the bottle jack? would a short stroke ram have been better? I like your design and plain to do something similar only use a hydraulic ram and an old log splitter part's . BTW was that a 20 ton jack?
How about a little heads up on milling machine or metal lathe you used? MIG welder? Some of that shop equipment I need to outfit my garage with if I ever get it built. I find it scary to just think about the trial and error I may have to go through in getting the right metal milling equipment. Some very good work. College campus or trade school shop? I don't even have dreams about my shop being that clean. Any tips on sourcing steel scrap? Thank you.
Very enjoyable video. Could you please explain or show more of the tool you used at 8.47 to machine a semi circular groove in the bending wheel? i do quite a lot of lathe work but have not seen this done before.
Great job but I probably would have welded some angle. And bolted the top frame in rather than fully weld it. Or at least have some sort of a bearing cover so I could replace them easily if needed.
@@madeingarage7040 damn would be nice to purchase blueprints for the materials and what gears to get to make one at myself. this looks a lot cheaper than buying one for sure!
I like this, but as stated, an explanation would go a long way in helping many others duplicate what you've done. If you sold detailed plans, which i would buy, at $20 dollars each, it wouldn't take long to fill your shop with many pieces of equipment.
Me parece a mi o salvo en mi pais las chapas de acero son baratas, porque veo videos donde usan cantidades de chapas de 10 mm como si fueran ojalata, mas las horas de mecanizado, torno fresadora, soldadura etc esto resulta muy costoso. Para demostrar que se puede está bien, si es un encargue espero que lo hayas cobrado bien, porque algo así no se hace en 15'
It's cheaper to buy a gear box for pipe bending and a motor, number one you use less steel, and a gear box and motor turns 24 hours no stop, and you can get the rollers at the steel place.

Also, add lube to them so the "Slip" creates less friction and heat and bends much easier.

Yes. I converted a drilling machine into a milling machine and I already have a small lathe. But I still dream of many machines
Impressive bend on that square tube!
Yes. Thank you!
Put another keyway cut in your dye so you can get at least 180° bend.
I have to change this larger gear to a smaller one by 20mm and then I will get this 180°
