Bridge Building
The Roeblings would be proud....
As usual, I'm putting a huge effort into a tiny, relatively insignificant part... I think that I need therapy... Or maybe this is the therapy...
I'm making curved bridges out of tubing, so I had to make the tooling to bend and miter them.
I've had a Di Acro bender for a long time, but I never got around to making the radius collars that I need to do various frame building tasks... I finally knuckled down.
This is a fixture that I made that will facilitate milling the radius collars. It mounts on my rotary table. The rotary table mounts on my vertical milling machine, and off I go.
