    Bending Strap to Angles Greater than 90°

    The last time I visited Bill VanOrden’s (Beevo’s) shop I was shown a simple way to bend strap at angles greater than 90°. Beevo was gracious enough to let me write it up. This technique uses standard drills to set the depth of bend. I added the math.

    Rick,
    Also, thank you for doing the math and statics for a better cause and effect explanation for what is happening to the strap.

    Same for me, this simpler is the most clever !
    Actually, drill bits can be used as gauges in lots of situations.
    Cheers !

    Yes, drills make wonderful gauges. I did buy a set of "spacers" which are also very useful. They are disks ground to an accuracy of +/- 0.0001" so can be trusted to the nearest thou. Well worth the money.
