sheet metal bender / brake

[ChrisGTParticipant @chrisgt]

I am looking to make a sheet metal bender / folder on a small scale for use in a home bench vice. Apparently there is a diagram of plans to do this in a back issue of the magazine – 5th august 1983, posted by A.B Spiller.

 

I am guessing that a back issue this old is no longer available – does anybody know or have a scan of this or a similar diagram to make this tool?

 

Really grateful for any assistance,

Kind Regards

Chris

Hi Chris,

 

I don’t have the magazine but could probably get you a photo copy from my local library.

 

However there are many examples of DIY plans on the internet if you Google ‘Bending Brake’ or other suitable phrases. You could modify one of these to suit your needs.

 

Regards

 

Terry

Thanks for the reply, I’ll take a look on google images.

Unless your desperate to make, Warco product no. 8986-Vice brake might help. Available in 4, 5 and 6″ widths. Usual disclaimer.
