Hello, I need to bend a 1.5" x 1.5" piece of angle iron into a circle about 32" in diameter with the leg out. I searched this site for anything similar, but didn't see it. I have the Harbor Freight compact bender and ring roller, but neither one of them are quite right for this job IMO. I would expect there should be a good "old school" method to get this done.
I was imagining cutting a disc out of thick plywood to this diameter, cutting holes around the inside of the edge to clamp the angle to. Heat with a torch and clamp, heat and clamp, rinse and repeat until all the way around the disc, all without catching the disc on fire.
However, I thought I would just inquire to this group of experience as to a better method. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance...
