Intro

This is a very versatile lever based bending machine. It has dies for bending several different shapes of metal. Many more dies are available for sale; feel free to add to the wishlist!

Rules

While nothing is indestructible, this machine is pretty dang tough. Still, keep the dies with the machine (pegs on the side, box on the floor behind it). Use lube if needed. Don't hammer on any part of the machine: steady pressure is all you need.

Instructions

RTFM (and google "hossfeld bender how to")

Maintenance Info

If any rust spots are seen, it's probably time to clean and recoat. If you decide to do this, please record the process so we can properly fill in this section.

FAQ

  • Q: The ones I see online have hydraulics. Why doesn't ours?
    • A: If you want to help fund it, feel free. Otherwise, this machine is extremely capable as is, especially using the extender bar...
  • Q: What can you bend on this?
    • A: Most any kind of metal shape that fits in it. Flat, tube, bar, even sheet if it's under about 4" wide. RTFM, there's a lot of good info in there.

ToDo

  • Source more dies
  • Add a good pic to this page
  • Add the manual or a link to it
  • Maybe find some good videos and link them
