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 -Tom |

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

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. Mike "TT" wrote in message news:LRY3e.54389$Az.27198@lakeread02... The only Diacro's I see are punch & die equipment. -Tom "ATP*" wrote in message ...

I think this is what you're looking for: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=44094 Or if looking for a floor-standing model: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=31980 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. Regards, Michael |

We have one at work, it's like a rotating table with posts to bend stuff around. "ATP*" wrote in message ... "TT" wrote in message news:LYX3e.54379$Az.37205@lakeread02...
