MANTHOS Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 You gotta get some tougher stock Manthos! haha!! Too easy for ya mate! Thanks bro! I got a big piece of that and I cut it to pieces. This is the second 7'' piece I do. I cut it to 6.5'' and 6'' to try later this week...they must be harder to bend. Tell me Chris...what kind of stock shall I look for next time I go to the hardware store?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me Chris...what kind of stock shall I look for next time I go to the hardware store?? I'm sure others would know a little better than myself, being that you're in Greece, it might be a bit harder to find the same stuff we have available here. I would try to get some 303 Stainless steel or 0-1(Oil Hardened) Drill Rod. I think the DR is called something else in Europe, but don't remember. Some grade 5 bolts in 1/4" Thickness also would be excellent. I personally would also invest in IMP's man. They will teach you to be a better bender!

tselegala Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Manthos you are Greek? Nice to see another Greek bender, i don't live in Greece though! very good bend in that style. Like Chris said look for DR or Stainless or square stock. Or maybe shorten the bar and reduce the wraps gradually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a grade 8 same size as the grade 5 you bent. Each piece has it's own private hell Manthos. I find Cold Rolled steel harder to kink than Drill Rod, but much easier on the sweep and crushdown.

Tim71 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 8mm would be 5/16 instead of 1/4 inch. Can't watch the vid so I don't know what you bent. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
