HI there. Two quick questions of the day...
What do you call the curl on the end of flat bar as you would see on a wall bracket? It must have a name.
And, can anyone recommend a small machine for achieving the curl?
I've forked out for one of the cheapo things you find on eBay and Amazon made from plastic steel which fall apart in half an hour, with a load of work, washers, bushes, new pins and blocks I've got it working fairly well, but with the geometry I can't see anyway something like this can create a full curl, I can get a bend to around 190-200 degrees, but no more. Do people just finish the last fit off with heat and a hammer?
Thanks.
