    Improvement nro 1

    Height adjusted front jaw. Gives more support when filing, and allows better view to the object. Specially with thin materials.

    Allows to adjust bending radius unportable.

    Now i can adjust the position of the point that leans against workpiece. This gives more symmetrical result.

    Thanks buddy. I was little bored, so i tought that i could overdo something. �� I was somewhat satisfied for the first version too, but its just fun to improve things... Don't know. Is this easy to make and use anymore?

    Personally I think your vice bender is pretty Versatile & complete but not sure I have the inventiveness you have for Optional tool uses. The idea of creating bend radii for small projects really appealed to me and think you nailed it. Perhaps after using it some more something will come up that may warrant further options. Great Job Buddy!

    Thanks mate.

    I actually had a reason to make it.
    To make bends to the ends of the pieces that have bends on side.
    But i needed to make bend to the opposite direction. I had no tool for that before. I'll post a pic someday.. that explains it better.
