Question

[Smiley]

Was wondering what is a good way to bend aluminum? Do they have like a small sheet metal bender for small bends or what would yaw suggest?

Thanks in advance Keith

Hey Keith, I use a vise to make small bends .I know it can be hard to put several bends in a vise but usually can do it if you think about it and plan your bends.I also have a small 36 inch break but it wont do real small bends.

I have used my wood vise in the past, it doesn't leave marks. I have thought many times of buying one of these. http://www.grizzly.com/products/12-B...nd-Brake/G7147

If I was you I would look at the one that Harbor Freight has it shears and bends metal for $ 399http://www.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/i/m/image_17906.jpg and if you can get a 20% coupon it would be $ 320 . Ed
