Hi RV-fellow builders!
I live in Norway and am building a RV-7. I've have discovered a GREAT tool for bending soft metal.
It's a kind of a plier who makes EXACTLY 90 degree bends with PERFECT turnradius!
It's IDEAL for the trimtab, the tabs on the left elevator and other parts where you need a bend.
The PERFECT trimtab can be done on FIVE MINUTES! (or maybe even less...)
I've posted pics of the plier in the Photo Share section today, however it'll take a few days until the pics are posted I think.
The pliar was found in a tinsmith shop (tinman).
It's an old tool but SUPERB for the job!
Since it'e here in Norway, it also must be possible to find in the US or other parts of the world.
I've also sent photos to Mr Bob Avery at Avery Tools, and maybe they'll start making the tool?
Happy building (and bending!) builders.
Best regards Alf Olav Frog
Alf: Sound interesting, I would like to see the photos.. |
Of course you know, the ones we use in our building projects, here, are 2 kinds. the spring type, that
comes in different diameters, you insert the tube, and bend it by hand... the 2nd., the ;most useable is the
two handles and the radious circular channel, where the tube is inserted, and with the preasure of the one
handle, forms any kind of angle on alumminum tub.

Dear Alf,
I think I may have found the bending pliers you desribed. Here is the link:
Http://www.metalforming-usa.com/pdf/tool_bro.pdf
If you look at the lower left of page 10 of this pdf file, there is a
"Single -Handed Edger". It looks just like the tool in your pictures.
Thanks for fowarding your photos.
Happy building,
John Brunke
