Hey. I am trying to make a steel strap out of 4130 0.065 plate (to be welded). I have a .750 dia tube that terminates into a flat surface at an angle, the strap is to go over the termination point and welded in to place.
Here is a primitivevisualization of the strap to see things more clearly...
I want the strap to be made out of one piece. I am struggling to work out how to manipulate the piece. I have bent some plate around a .750 tube like in the next pic, the red line is one of the proposed bend lines, the other obviously being on the other side. I tried positioning this piece in the vise, but cannot get a good position. How would you bend it?
If anyone is interested in making me two of these I would be grateful and will of course pay for your expertise...
