I built this awhile back to bend some brackets. I needed some U shaped pieces bent for some alternator brackets I was reproducing from one that hadn't been made in nearly 30 years. I also make some jeep spring/shock plates for a swap that is common in older cj jeeps.
This was built in a weekend from scrap from work and has served me well since I built it.
Trying it out before I paint and finish it.
After painting it and adding a mag mounted drop indicator for repeatability.
It will bend up to 1/2" thick by 6 1/2" wide A36 hot rolled steel with a 20 ton bottle jack.
A set of the Jeep spring plates made with it, my 9" South Bend and Kent mill. I have made about 20 sets of these over the last 2 years.
3/8" x 4 1/2"wide material.
