If you often make something at the summer cottage or in the workshop from fittings, you will definitely need a compact hand-operated arm bending machine in the farm, which is made of a worn support bearing of the front drive of the car.
The design of this device itself is very tiny, so the valve can easily be brought from the garage to the cottage, perform the necessary work and take it back. In general, a fairly simple, useful, inexpensive and mobile device.
First of all, we clamp the thrust bearing in a bench vise, then with the help of a angle grinder with a cutting disc we cut off the side on the case. The resulting burrs are removed with a file or a petal circle for the grinder.
The main stages of work
We select a suitable drill bit for metal, then make a marking and drill three holes in the "plate" of the support bearing. We insert a piece of the bolt into the central hole of the housing, onto which we wind the nut.
The arm of a bending machine can be made from an old stabilizer bar, which simply fits perfectly into this design. It will be necessary to weld a piece of a stud, bolt or steel round timber of suitable diameter to it.
At the last stage of work, we put the end of the rack on the bolt with nut and scald. On the other end we attach the handle for a more comfortable grip. We fasten the armature to the table, and you can bend the armature. For a detailed process of making homemade products, see the video on our website.
