Lesson 26: RADIUS CORNER BENDS


A


Mark off as described on part IV intro, paragraph (a).

Take a NEAR WELDING heat, adjust the position of the heat if necessary by cooling out with water (Lesson 15, B and C) and bend over the bick.

The second bend is made in the same way.

B

With a heavy job such as a plough axle, it may be more convenient to lay the hammer aside,

hold the piece and hit it on the flat of the anvil like this -

The weight of the metal itself will then do the bending.

C

Here are the finished bends -

In the smaller one the punch marks can be seen in the middle of each bend.
