![]() I did the same thing on a smaller scale. Had to make a tight 180 degree bend in 1/2 inch stainless. I couldn't find a mandrel that small. I had the mandrel bend to keep it from collapsing and/or cracking. Took a while but I finally got it done.

![]() The dies are so pricey, I’m looking for ideas to build my own when I pick up a bender. I already bought a tool to cut circular grooves on the lathe, but this mill method is way more flexible. It was not obvious to me.

![]() I remember a discussion about splines, this might be a way to make your own axles etc. I didn’t really study it or look at any axles, but has potential.

![]() He makes a small table top bandsaw out of a handheld. Blades are pretty reasonable. I bought one recently.

![]() I need to set up something like that. Bought a horizontal band saw years ago and have never used it because its a pain to retrieve from where its stored and setup. Plus I usually tilt the saw up vertical and cut stuff. That's always a challenge. Never have used it to cut off bar stock.

![]() That stand is pretty straight forward. I bought the hf knock-off bandsaw and some blades to cut 4” alum tube. After I thought I should have spent more and got a better bandsaw, but this idea might be perfect. I always hated breaking bandsaw blades and having to butt weld them and aneal. These you probably just throw them away.
His idea for setting angle is perfect for me. I wish I hadn’t thrown out that old table saw the last time I moved! |

This guy shows some detail. Pretty clean. I’d want the guide notch so I could cut angles. |
