Title states it but for more details.
I am looking at doing some decorative railing with 1/2" solid square stock. I'm looking at ~4" CLR. Basically, I'm going to have a LOT of 180 degree bends. By a lot, I'm thinking in excess of 100 of them.
Initially, I was thinking a bender like JD squared, Rogue Fab, etc since I could use them for other metal work. But it appears that it would be a bit of time for each bend.
Is there a better and more efficient tool for this type work? Price is somewhat an issue but I'll pay for a good quality tool.
Or is there a better method? Maybe create a bending "die" for a press? I've got the usual HF 20 ton handy :homer:
