kobblers Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Is there a dedicated tool available for bending thin aluminium into L shapes so I can make free standing table numbers etc? Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 You don't need a tool Rick clamp tightly betwwen 2 pieces of wood in a vice protect with cardboard to save marking the aluminium if nessessary. You will probably need slighly more than 90 degrees or they might topple forward, so chamfer one piece of wood to whatever angle you require Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobblers Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I don't use a vice at work or at home, that's why I didn't think of it Gonna use the Pantograph vice as it's only thin aluminium Great idea guys =D> Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
