5/8" Solid Stainless Rod Bending Anyone?

Bending 5/8" stainless should not be all that hard unless you are wanting sharp bends. If you want sharp bends you are probably going to need some heat. Try bending some 5/8 rebar for practice before trying the expensive stuff.

I actually received a great idea from someone else... All I needed was a longer version of something I already have - and I wasn't smart enough to simply consider extending the bar via a weld point.... And I've got a welder next door so...

After all that, I think I'm set.

...And to think I was gonna have it made from scratch... I'm turning out just like some of my... er... never mind.

===================== Hi Joe,

Question: How long this solid rod is? Because you have a better chanse on bending it if is at list 4 to 5 feet long. (then you can cut it the size u need)

Total length is 5 feet or longer... But I've found an easier (i.e. less expensive and local) fix.

Thank you for the input.

Unfortunately, I can't do that. It is inserted into a 5/8" ID pipe and used as a removable bracket. I need to make the braket sit about 1-2" higher than it does now and the pipe it is inserted into isn't tall enough to simply accept a plug below the bracket "arm" per say.

Want to see photos of it? Check the backrest out here:

See the third and sorta the fourth picture down as the backrest is leaning up against the wall in the fourth.

If it isn't too short you can slip a piece of pipe over the end. ( also handy to get the bend where you want it ).

LOL. Every two weeks or so she walks through our warehouse here... Never really spoken to her - probably because I don't want to be killed by my wife who also works here.
