Tabletop brake for bending 90's in 1/4" round
 

Before I build a brake for bending nice tight 90 deg. bends in 1/4" round,
was wondering if there is any piece of equipment out there that will do
this?

Was previously using a large Pexto brake but some numbnut tried to bend 3/8"
rebar and screwed it up and it's now signed "NO ROUND STOCK".

Thanks

Sounds like a Diacro, but you might want to check out HF if you can't obtain
the Diacro

The only Diacro's I see are punch & die equipment.

Look for rotary benders. I'm not sure if Diacro still makes them, but there
might be one or two on Ebay.

I think this is what you're looking for:

Or if looking for a floor-standing model:

I haven't used either so I can't comment on them. You might want to take a
look at them in a local HF store to see if they'll fit your needs.

There aren't any of the type I'm talking about on ebay right now. We have
one at work, it's like a rotating table with posts to bend stuff around.
