By manufacturing various elements from sheet steel (gutters, skates for roofing, etc.), you can not only save, but also make money - for example, by manufacturing them to order. But this will require a listogib (hand press).
Unlike factory-made models, designed mainly for processing sheet metal of large thickness, a home-made mini bending machine is useful in the garage or workshop for the manufacture of piece goods.
The first step is to cut off two pieces of pipe of the same length and one metal plate. After this, the pipes must be welded to the plate (at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the base).
The main stages of work
The next step is to cut off two plates, and drill holes in two nuts (on a lathe). Then the steel plates will need to be welded to the nuts. The resulting part is put on pipes.
Next, the master makes a punch. And for this he uses a piece of metal plate. In the lower part, on two sides, the edge must be wedge-shaped. The punch is welded to the other plate perpendicularly.
Then the master cuts off another piece of the plate and drills a hole in it in the center. Then it will be necessary to grind the end of the stud on a lathe, insert it into the hole in the plate, put on the nut and scald.
At the last stage, the matrix is made and the assembly of the structure is performed. For more information on how to make a mini machine for bending sheet metal with your own hands, see the video on the website.
