How to Build Metal Bending Fixtures
- 1). Place the board horizontally and drill two 1/2-inch holes at least 2 inches from the end of the board. The holes should be drilled side by side, and no farther than 1 inch apart. Measure 2 inches down from these holes and drill two 1-inch holes. Measure 2 inches down and drill two 1 1/2-inch holes.
- 2). Insert the bolts into the pre-drilled holes. Tighten the bolts to a depth of at least 1 inch deep to secure them. The farther the better.
- 3). Clamp the wooden base to an anchored table or bolt it to the floor before use.
- 4). Weave the metal to be bent in between the bolts and use the leverage to bend the metal.
