ABSTRACT:
A portable angle bender for strip metal. The bender has a shallow U-shaped base having a bending fixture mounted to two upstanding side walls. The bending fixture has two guide members joined at a hinge and pivotally attached to the base on their other ends. One guide member pivots about a fixed axis, while the other may slide relative the base to alter the included angle of the fixture. Each guide member has a slider plate mounted thereunder to form a gap with a top plate to which the central hinge is attached. The gaps are open toward the hinge so as to enable endwise insertion of an angled strip of metal into the fixture. The slider members are constructed of a non-stick material, and the gap is dimensioned to facilitate advancement of the strip through the fixture. A quick-release locking nut is utilized for adjustments to the bending angle, and an indicator is mounted to one of the guide members for registration with a series of angle markings inscribed on the base.
