Hossfeld Bender Question

[revrnd]

If anyone has 1 of these benders, could you tell me the dia' of the holes for the various pins? I'm reworking a generic version & it might be easier to adapt a Hossfeld part rather than attempt to make the part from scratch (heavy heating & bending req'd).

Thank you.

I can measure anything you want Tomorrow when school starts. You mean the pivot pin hole
and the row of holes on the swing arm???

Exactly!

OK! The pivot hole is 0.777, for a 3/4" pin. The row of holes for the fixtures are 0.645, for 5/8" pins.
There two small holes at the ends of the row of 5/8 ones that measure 0.440 (no idea what they
are for)
Now to see if I can post a pix.

Another try smaller size, was too big.
OK that works. Does that answer all the requirements?

Lew, thanks for checking. Unfortunately that makes the pins too large to work w/ my bender (5/8" dia holes). I think I've got a workaround to my dilemma though.

Lew the .440 holes are for the 19b4 U Pin since it has a smaller pin on the end for the .440 hole. The regular U Pin has 5/8 on the shaft and on the pin end...Bob

Interesting, I built my own Bender about 8 years ago.
But as I am getting older, I have had a hard time doing some of the bends.
So, I build a bracket (like the picture) to hold a hand jack like the picture to bend the heavy stuff.
