Description
Commercially available Folding Bars are a single piece construction formed by bending a length of Mild Steel bar as shown.
The design enables the bars naturally to spring together and grip a piece of sheet metal prior to being placed in a Vice to hold the sheet firmly for bending.
Additional force can be applied by G Cramps or Hand Vices, if needed on longer folds for example.
Folding Bars can readily be self-made using strips of steel bar or angle section which are then gripped together in a Vice.
They are more convenient to use if they are located against each other with Bolts and Wing Nuts as shown.
