BENDING 2" FLAT BAR 5mm
Posted: Sat Sep 21, 2019 4:52 am
Howdy,
Replacing a section of deck on my steel yacht. The deck beams are 2" flat bar (vertical).
The deck camber requires the flat bar be bent, about a 5mm camber. I couldnt get the things bent by anyone so I made a jig outa angle, channel and some round bar and a bottle jack.
Strangely, altho' the position of the jack was measured and centered smack bang in the middle, all 3 beams favoured the left side.
so I have deck beams of vertically placed flat bar with more camber on the left than right.
I'll have to do them again of course :
SO I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS A SIMPLE METHOD OF ACCURATELY BENDING A SLIGHT CAMBER ON VERTICAL 2" FLAT BAR?????
