The ideal tool would be a finger brake but I think it might work for you. would be interested on how sharp a bend it does. I think it would handle .026 stainless no problem I would just be curious on how sharp a bend. Here are a few I was considering, but we have several at work so no need yet. Cheaper than what you are looking at if price matters. Might want to check out the want ads or used machinery sites for a small finger brake.

What are you guys using to cut your lips? I've used aircraft shears, but would rather use a band saw or jigsaw. Any advice on what kind of blade? And how about punches. Have seen the standard one, but where do you get the oval punch?

I'm just using a pair of offset red wiss snips .. Whenever I need a piece of sand paper for the lathe ,,instead of ripping off a chunk I cut it with these snips .. makes them sharp .. Then I grind out bumps on a white wheel ,in the bench grinder , doesn't get as hot .. I use a Roper Whitney Co . No.5 Jr hand punch ... Mac chased the oval punch down for this tool once but it was very expensive ,, want to say $175.00.. It was a tool place in Stoughton . special order .. I've been bending with hand seamer type vice grips .. Just got a fine wire wheel I put in my drill press .. nice ,, makes everything look Pichney ...
Hey NIB ... Tagger-Man is my ebay name .. are the eyes upon me ? |
