Small sheet metal bender

grabcad

I built this simple bender to bend 3mm aluminium.Uses L-profile black angle iron: 60x60x6 mm (500mm * 2) 40x40x4mm (300mm, 280mm * 2, 250mm) 100x75x3mm stainless steel door hinge * 2 M6x10mm allen bolts * 16 M8x10mm allen bolts * 6 M10x100mm hex bolts * 2 (plus 4 nuts, 6 washers, 2 split washers) 54x56x500mm hard wood (oak) as optional base.The base plate can be held in a vice instead of using the wooden base, in which case 2 * M8x80mm bolts can be screwed into the back and adjusted to act as a stop for the bending plate when in its resting position.
