Places to buy stock, pads everything bending What are you bending or aiming for at the moment? I bought a 4m / 6m long, OD 5mm / 6mm steel round bar for $8 total in Syd. Cut it up into 6-7inch pieces with a small pair of bolt cutters. Couldn't get the 6mm, so I'm taking a break and just doing wrist strength work before making another run at the 6mm bars. My modest end goal is to bend 6" x 6.5mm pieces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tterbo Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Atm bending some 5.6mm x 150mm bunnings bails realy good for volume and technique work. With some 6.3mm x 7" crs for some near max effort. Just purchased some 6 3mm 304 grade SS looking at giving that a go aiming for a blue nail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulliBrickCrusher Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Nice! I'd looked but never seen the 150mm ones at Bunnings. 5.6mm might be a good intermediate diameter for me depending on how hard they are. Mascot steel have round bar in increments of 1mm if you're ever looking for 6 or 7mm lengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
