Bending 1" X 1/8" aluminum bar
I have to put 35° bends in 1" X 1/8" aluminum. I tried a vice and
hammering the end of the bar that sticks out about 1". This looked real bad and if I bent the aluminum too much and tried to straiten it a little it broke. Obviously, I don't have a metal brake. Is there a better way to do this? I have to make eight bends. I do have a CNC mill and a lathe as well as tooling and other assorted equipment. Thanks! |
