Yes they are Joe on some hand carves i want to make.I can't wait for the weekend to play with the new toy as i can now get machinist grade bends instead of the ones i was doing by hand which i was never totally happy with.Plus i am a tool hog i can never have enough tools:wall:

machinist grade bends. LOL . I get them every time I drop something on the shop floor.

Thanks for the laughs Paul i just sprayed my screen when reading your reply.

Long story, but I got rid of a couple of those that were a little bigger this past summer. I don't do too many of my own lips, but maybe I should have kept one. Ours were rusty and stuck but could have been freed up. After seeing the excitement over it I am kicking myself. Only have so much space though....and they were quite heavy.
If I come accross any more, maybe I wil keep one.....
Congrats on the score!

:smash:Don't ever do that again. I want one for my cellar. Next time PM me if you are going to throw anything made of metal away.:uhuh:

start a "wish list" Paul

One mans garbage is another mans treasure.

That is too often my problem. I am usually on the receiving end of the "treasure". Have accumulated some great stuff though....
I hate to see something good thrown away.

On the bright side they weren't thrown out, we did sell those for a little something.

Well I came across another bending brake. This one I am going to keep.
It is a light one, but works really good for metal lips. I just bent a couple I am using for some 4" goo goo swimmers I've been meaning to finish for quite some time. With this nice weather, I might just get some done soon. I think it originally might have come from micromark or some other tool place.

Nice score!!! Makes it a joy to bend lips gets them perfect every time i am such a tool collector can't have enough.:smash:

Yo Prof; You should make a few small ones just for lips. Your fellow plug builders will luv ya for it. :gh:

lol Bill. We have beauty of a small finger brake at work so no need for me to make one, yet. I just want to get these plugs done as the boat's are starin at me in the yard now.The one Eric got looks home made.

lThe one Eric got looks home made.

Chinese. I have one also. Found it in my parents cellar. Welded aluminum.

I am pretty sure mine came from the micro mark catalog. This stuff I have been going through is from a family member who had tons of tools.

It isn't heavy duty, but I got a bunch of flat lips from Mike at CCT and have been bending them with it. Works like a charm. The flat plate has some type of edge that makes a real nice bend in the lip.
