Key Specifications
- Materials
- Q235 solid iron rod, 16 mm
Key Features
- 16mm solid bar swept without creases

- Heavy hardware for real loads
What Does It Take to Bend 16mm Solid Bar?
Short answer: A big table and a big former. This video shows 16mm solid Q235 iron rods bent into wide U bars on a large CNC table - the heavy section flows around a generous former without creasing, and the legs come out parallel.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Step | Operation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Heavy rod at former | Rigid clamp |
| 2 | First radius swept | Clean curve |
| 3 | Second bend | Wide U done |
| 4 | Hand check | Legs parallel |
Key Applications
- Heavy pipe and beam clamps
- Structural anchor U bars
- Equipment frame rails
Why Large Radii on Thick Bar
| Tight radius | Large radius (shown) |
|---|---|
| Creases, cracks | Metal flows clean |
| Weak corner | Full section strength |
FAQ
What is the heaviest section you bend? Up to 20mm solid on the largest tables.
Can U bars be threaded after? Yes - lathe threading follows bending.
