Anybody in the I.E. have a press brake?

[Bent]

As much as I'd like to run out and buy something like this it just isn't going to happen right now.

I need to bend two pieces of 1/4" plate to about a 35* at about (1@) 85*(and 1@ 95*) to the long edge. The material is about 5" wide and ~34" long.

I have a couple of options in the event I'm not able to accomplish the end result in what I consider ideal but thought I'd ask first.

How ironic that Bent needs a bender.

Gotta straighten himself out somehow.

I did but considering the number of times I've been told to get bent over the years. ..well, you know. I've tried.

Good way to end up having to visit the discreet clinic.

Nevermind. Got it!



Almost there.

What do you know-both at 25°. Not sure what the compound angle is; I just used a template.

Both angles and the radius fit just like they're supposed to. Using a press brake would have made the layout for the new LCA brackets simpler but this will work.
