Tribute of a Hossfeld No 2 bender build, let's discuss.

One of the guys had thought it would be cute to bend a piece of solid sq bar stock ....

I am sooo glad I don't have employees...

I have a Chinese Hossfeld bender, need to up grade, thanks for the thread. Bob any updates? Kent I like the hydraulics I have a few spare cylinders laying around.

Seem like nice enough plans. Too bad your piece wasn't in there. Do you think somebody on that thread could help you out?

I think I have it figured out and have started on the big piece already. Would be fun someday to compare what I make to an actual piece to see how close I got. I'm sure what I make will work so that's the most important thing.

I have started working on this edge bending die set but will take some time to complete it. Will post pics when I get it done though.

Ultimately that is THE most important thing. I've never seen one put through its paces so I have no idea how those pieces do what you are trying to do. But that was true of the bead roller until I watched some u200b vids with Lazze and now I'm hooked. If I ever get done with my present project the bead roller is next. So I'm a little afraid to go digging into this Hossfeld I'm sure you'll come up with something as good or better than the original.
