Came time for me to bend some 4130 steel plate..like these.
Any suggest?

I need to understand which methods are acceptable to bend steel. I’m looking for simple methods that gives an adequate outcome in terms of safety and quality.
There's need to pre heat metal or can I do it cold?
And about bending radius..how you manage that?:confused:


Thanks.
