Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 This came up while explaining how I made a flat induction coil. Thought I should post it here. Ya ever run into the need to make two 90 degree bends right next to each other? Like the first picture. There's just no way you're gonna get that second bend into the bender. Well, long time ago I had to figure that one out. After much head scratching I came up with this. Pretty easy once you know the trick. Actually there are many times where I find it easier to bend in one plane and then twist it into another plane. Got me out of trouble on more than one occasion. I've done this on work up to two inch diameter. Sometimes I see folks struggling to make a bend close to the end of a bar too. Often it saves time and comes out better if you leave a long "tail" on it and cut it off after. Getting a bend right at the end is darn near impossible and if you get it close you end up beating the end up pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt87 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Thanks Grant, that helped me to solve a problem I've been considering for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myloh67 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Very tidy Grant, thanks for that. With square stock I would assume the use of a mandrel would be appropriate to avoid a twist ? Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyGeorge Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks Grant. I have already added that sketch and notes to my "Now what????" book. I know that one will come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horseshoe182 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi naked, How did you go with the 2 inch stuff, long pipe hangin off it (leverage). In order to concentrate the heat did you use a heating torch and oxy/act set? What is an induction coil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
