    Multi die bending jig

    I wanted to buy one of these from the US but shipping was huge, I then realised that it was designed for imperial material so it probably wouldn't work that well with our metric steel so I decided to make a version of my own. It works pretty well.

    Hi Gary!

    Nice work on the bending jig. It is funny that you should post at this time. I had just recently restarted a protect to write a piece of software to plot out those holes. This was a restart of an attempt about a year ago that ended with a stolen laptop. So seeing your article I decided to go into the shop and visit that software again. Guess what a dead laptop!!!

    Needless to say can’t work on that program for the near future. I might suggest that it isn’t that hard and could be done with a calculator with some effort. It will likely be sometime before that laptop is fixed or replaced.

    Thanks, if you ever get it sorted I would be interested in seeing how it works, it could be useful for other projects!
