With this home-made device, you can bend at home soft steel, as well as brass, aluminum and copper wires of different diameters at a certain angle.
For example, using this simple fixture, assembled from a bolt and nut, you can easily bend the wire into square frames or make zigzag details.
Of course, to bend the wire from mild steel or non-ferrous metal, you can use simple pliers. But this homemade product may well be used as an alternative. Moreover, making it yourself is very simple - you just need a grinder and an electric drill.
The main stages of work
First of all, we screw the bolt into the nut, after which it is necessary to drill a through hole with an electric drill, clamping the workpiece in a vice, or on a drilling machine. It is important to ensure that the steel does not overheat. Therefore, you will first need to drill a hole with a small drill, and then a large one.
Then, using an angle grinder with a cutting disc, approximately ½ part must be cut off from the top of the hex nut. To do this, you must first mark the surface with a marker.
Then, certain manipulations will need to be done with the bolt itself - for this, you can use either a grinder or a drill.
At the last stage of work, we weld a handle from a steel hollow tube to the nut (or you can use a round bar of a suitable diameter). The process of making homemade products can be seen in the video on the site.
