Small rod bender

[sanddan]

This is a design I saw on OxTools YouTube channel. it is for bending small diameter rods up to 3/8” dia. There are several sizes of pivots to give different bend radius. All of the material was from the scrap pile except for the pivot bushing and 3/8” dowel pins. I used my mill and lathe for most of the construction but there was some welding also.

Nicely done! Having the ability to bend rod with some level of precision is a good add to any shop.
