Place i work was throwing this out.

Looks like a new lu tool for bending lips!! When does production start? :drool:

Nice are there titanium lip in your future?

We've got one here that I may scoff someday... it's been sitting in my back maintenance room for over a year...

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!

Ouch!!A few guys in here would of traded heavily for them.I was lucky i just happened to walk by just when they were going in the dumpster.One mans garbage is another mans treasure.

: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

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.

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.
