Lesson 26: RADIUS CORNER BENDS
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
Here are the finished bends - In the smaller one the punch marks can be seen in the middle of each bend. |
