Tmr machete rod bender

Grade 8 bolts work too. I built one w/gr8bolts 1/2” dia and worked fine for farm bends. Saves bringing the torch out to heat and bend rods or flat bar 😊😊

Nice been looking at it for while I am going to try to build it thanks for your time and video

[@minskmade]

[@rlarajr2001]

I'm new to machining. This will be a good project.

[@naudydave]

It was fun and it’s a very useful tool

[@hwdllc]

well done

[@lwg66]

Better than putting it in a vise heating it red and hammering to the shape you need. Nice job

[@justy1606]

What is the distance between the 2 pins on the main block that goes in the vice?

1-5/16

How much did yours cost you to make?

[@naudydave]

It was stuff I had. I’m sure if you got the material from a scrap yard you could make it for $50 and your time

@@naudydave thanks. For what we need to do, we just went with the one from Eastwood for $53
