Made An Electric Metal bender

[ROB 123]

Hi Guys
I needed to bend lots of alloy flat bar 44mm x 12mm I had been doing this by hand but then I had to have a pacemaker fitted and of cause bending was not going to do me much good .
So I came up with this idea cost was around £400 hopefully the pics will show what its about ,Iv bent hundred's with this now and it's still going strong.

Need is the mother of invention, or adaption in this case.

That is great idea..... especially the KISS principal.

Just one thing, the scaffold pole is NOT fixed it is sat on a nylon disk so as it bends the metal the winch turns round so the cable is always in line .
hope that makes sense.
