Folks Of Interest Mandrel bending services from cornfield customs

I recently bought a 2x4 rectangle mandrel bender for doing chassis’s. Figured I would make a post about it with some pics in case anyone needs some custom rails or sections built.

 

absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

 

Excellent!

 

Nice, sure like to see it in action.

 

How nice is that!

 

They look great, I wish I needed some.

 

Yes, post a video.

 

Crazy! Show us the machine!

 

Nice work there !

 

Is that massive yellow machine in photo 7 the bender you refer too? It looks
huge and capable.

 

Video please

 

Nice rails!!

 

That is some nice work. Turns a "how am I going to make this look decent" to a " I bet he can make that and it will look great."

 

Here is a link to video of the machine bending up some rails

 

Simply amazing. Do you have to physically mark where you want it in position in the jaws with marker or something? How do you get where and how much to bend into the computer for the machine does it take another program or do you input your parameters right on the machine?

 

Wow !!

 

Really amazing!!!

 

I draw it up in bend tech then print out a cut and bend sheet. Lay out all bend locations. Set up machine with the tube then program the bend angle at each bend. Line the mark up to the 0 I set on the die edge and bend. Repeat at next bend point. Flipping tube as needed

 

Very impressive!

 

@cornfieldcustoms

Fabulous equipment! While the 2 x 4 is adequate for many projects…just curious….can your machine handle 4 x 4 or 2 x 3 ?

Regardless, now knowing your capabilities I can imagine buying your services in the future!

Thank you for posting info and video.

currently I am only doing 2x4x.120 . The tooling is very expensive

 

I kind of expected that would be the case and it is totally understandable. Most certainly my question was only informational in nature and I appreciate your reply and especially your investment in such a ‘Professional Grade’ machine.

great job !!

 

Very cool! I can see lots of opportunities to use it. From full scratch builds, modifications to repairs.

 

Dang Dude! The sky is the limit....

 

@cornfieldcustoms
Thanks for posting the video! Very impressive.

I'm guessing you'll save a ton of time building a frame rail with that machine.

 

Are you doing the two planes of the tubing with this bender, different dies I guess?

 

yes it is a die change to go from the hard way to the easy way and vice versa

 

Very impressive, hope it brings you a lot of new business with the new capabilities.
