Material List:
Base plate -6X22 X1/4 or thicker
Angle- 1X 22 3/16 thick (2 pieces)
Rod- 3/4 inch thick rod 6" long (X2)
Tube- 3/4 ID 3" long (X2)

What is drop Steel? Go to your local Fab shop and they will have a pile of "drop" which are cut off pieces from their projects. Because they are cut remnants, they will sell them to you for a fraction of the cost. In some cases they will just give you the smaller pieces. I buy all my steel from the drop pile. NOTE they will charge you for each cut so just buy it big and cut it down at home.

That's a great idea. I'm a fan of making tools. I'm a mechanic, and sometimes, i have to make a special tool. If i can't find what i need, or if it's too expensive, i just make one.

Fantastic economical addition for your hydraulic press!!! I'm building one for my press now. KZfaq channels like yours are the key to helping creative minds build their dreams without having to be born rich as a prerequisite. Sharing KNOWLEDGE FOR FREE is the beauty of the creative maker community. Keep bending metal and creating and sharing your fabrication skills. If only the whole world would contribute & SHARE their skills like you do, this world would be a beautiful and very different place in our Universe. SHARING KNOWLEDGE IS THE KEY!!! And the greatest blessing of all. God bless, bro! :>)

Too small. I use a tractor drag blade wear bar for the press blade. Massively stronger and comes with a very appropriate bevle.anything that won't work 3/16th to 1/4 thick is useless. Dan-Co Fabrication.36" absolute minimum width.. nice little project.

Hello… that was a great video. Very informative… I live in Deltona and was wondering if the steel company that you purchased your steel from sells to the public. Also was that drops of steel that you bought. Thanks

Either those rods are 3/4" or your fingers are 1/4". 😁 Great tool you've built. I'm curious, did you ever build the fingers? I looked at your video list but I didn't see it.

@kennethwestervelt2843 5 ай бұрын

How has your angle held up as I kinda assumed a tool like this should be hardened? Thanks for sharing!

@scantronsgarage 5 ай бұрын

That was my thoughts as well. I did attempt to harden it by heating it with an oxy acetylene torch and quenching it in oil however it never really got hot enough to be effective. All in all the brake bevel has held up well with no visible wear yet. It is also important not to try to bend any round stock with it. From what I hear, that will mess it up. Thanks for watching.

@@scantronsgarage i see someone doing that sort of stupid stuff we are probobly gonna fight you never wanna use a vice to hammer stuff or as a hold to bend stuff its usualy cast metal made to do precision work not the place where you take out your frustrations if you need to bend stuff with a lever or hammer weld a strong u channel on to a thick plate put inside what you want bent and beat on it till the cows come home and if it breaks great find more scrap and build a new one
