Hey, gang.
Nice to be back.
Doing well on 200 mg caffeine tab every morning and low carb diet.
Is the clamping arrangement on Harbor Freight's 46509 bender enough to hold the work in place while you fiddle with c-clamps? It's shown but not described in the assembly instructions. Little toggle clamps, it looks like.
Are c-clamps even necessary? The shipping weight is 115 pounds! Pretty beefy. Do you put one at each edge of the work, to couple the bed and press plate?
Is this a truck freight ($50.00) extra item?
Lastly, is 0.093 inch Lexan easier or harder to bend than 16 gage steel? That gage of steel is the rated bender capacity.
My application is fabbing some Lexan sheet. Kind of fun; you don't need a shear. Score, snap, mark, bend. Simple.
Any comments welcome.
