My old Tefal mini oven has a thermostat, I think that would be worth keeping too.... The elements are bent to fit in the oven but are soft and can be straightened by hand, I tried with one and it still worked! Can now make a much bigger machine for bending acrylic!
one standalone radiatior tube he uses needs 400W of power, so using a pC powersupply with custom made nichrome wire is possible but you max out the power of the power supply where some cheaper/older ones could break.
One improvement you do is add some square grid lines on the top and bottom so you can be sure your bends are 90 degrees to the edge. If you want tighter radius bends you could narrow the opening above the heating element. You might want to remove some of the pine around the element and install some gypsum (fire code drywall) or other heat proof material.
I would also add something to hold the sheet in place while it's being bent. Some sort of a clamp close to the heater. A strip of metal running across the panel, hinged on one side with a latch or lock on the other.
@@Booruvcheek Yeah what I did when I needed a number of pieces bent at the same place is I tacked on a strip of wood at the correct spot, that way the bend line is the same on all of them.
Very good video, is there any possibility of showing the wire connections and power source set up please? I would like to make one of these and I like the narrow piece of timber on one side to help feed the piece through at a 90° straight angle
Julia, you may find wire nuts are a much safer connection than twisting the wires together; especially with a high load like an element from an electric heater.
With what name can I find that old heat radiator tube? and which one do you think is better to use of these: .Thermoforming (Infrared Heating) .spiral carbon heating element -carbon fiber infrared heating tube -Nichrome 80-50' - 20 Gauge Resistance Wire thank.
I would highly not recommend using mains voltage for this application unless your country runs 110V or lower with either a ELCB/RCD safety device installed on the mains circuit breaker. its far more safer to use NiCr wire with a DC Transformer.

Hi, I know nothing about electricity and that stuff but could I use a fishtank water warmer as a heating element? You know taking it apart and extending the resistance inside, thanks before hand
I wach this videos because I need bend 6mm flexi glass 90 degree. So looking best choice. For me looks best chose with wire. Or glass heat with gas. I don't know.
Nice use of the micro switch to automatically trigger the heating element on/off. Hmm, do I really need my toaster oven? It has two of those elements. :-)
Selamat Malam Sir, saya dari indonesia terinspirasi untuk membuat alat yang ada di video sir, kalau berkenan kirimkan saya material apa saja yang harus saya persiapkan dan langkah kerjanya. Terimakasih
the heater element is way too hot for this job but as long as he doesn't have it powered up too long, he'll be ok. But it wouldn't take long to start charring and then igniting the pine. It'd be far better if he included the rheostat from the heater to control the temp of the element. I have a strip heater to do just this and it's 10w. That heater element is probably 700.
There's aluminium shield that reflects part of the radiant heat, I guess he could get one polished to make the bending faster so wood gets exposed less with the temperature gradient.
@@richardphatthenguyen195 the easiest way would be just add a controller to turn down the wattage of the element. But if he wanted more precise bends (aka a narrower radius) he could narrow the opening by using an L shaped piece of aluminum. But aluminum is notorious for being a good conductor of heat. In addition (having worked for a plastics fabricator for years) you should be heating both sides of the acrylic. It takes the stress out of the bend. It's a good basic design though. Great for making the occasional bend or piece.
Hello, @Muskoka Mike Yes you are right . I thought about this but after I did the video :)). It was fine with an intensity adjustment for acrylic boards of different thicknesses. At the thin ones, it is good to give less power. Thanks for the tips. I will try to make a more perfect device with more adjustments, not that bassic. Thanks!
Started to watch the video but had to stop, music was awful, too loud and distracting. I have saved it to watch later without sound, hopefully I won’t miss any narration. Interesting topic in its own right no need for the music.
Iulian Man no need to apologise, my comment was meant as feedback. I appreciate the legion of people that use their own time to show me interesting things and give me the opportunity to learn new things.
For Acrylic glass it takes a few seconds to warm up to bend it. To burn the wood takes a few minutes because the aluminum bar is still protecting it. so there is no fire at all. But your idea is good too. Thanks!
@@alit.6069 Thats why he installed the reed switch so that it turned off when you started to bend the perspex.....if you use power tools use common sense and supervise the tools you use, It is a crude tool made to get the job done.......if you want to spend more time to make it perfect go ahead.

Great Idea, execution not so great, wood on something that radiates heat? BAAAD IDEA, yes it may only get used short term, but think about the doofuses out there building that thing 2. No Soldering? again, bad idea... cutting before measuring.... meh
It's a proof of concept. He's showing us that it works. Also, in order for the wood to burn, the heat would need to do two things: 1. Get through the aluminium 2. Be hot long enough for it to get through the aluminium in order for the wood to burn, which is why he added a reed switch to disable the power when the acrylic is being being bent. Also, he just showed that it works without soldering. If you're going to use any type of power tool, common sense and caution are useful too.

This is very nice products.
Generally,If you have small order, This equipment will help lots.

Great job and video too. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Hi, I would to ask what “voltage & ampere” did you use on a rocker switch is it a “12V & 5A”?
Hello, it is for 230V - 10A
I thought such large gap would result in much bigger bend radius.
Or it would need heating for longer?
yes the bigger it is the gap result in much bigger bend radius
"GREAT" video...just what I need to make. Thank You!!!
Thanks!
Glad you like .
I would highly not recommend using mains voltage for this application unless your country runs 110V or lower with either a ELCB/RCD safety device installed on the mains circuit breaker. its far more safer to use NiCr wire with a DC Transformer.

Live wire on wood?!? I’d have used DC
very well.
HOW DO YOU PREVENT THE WOOD FROM BEING INCREASED IN CONTACT WITH THE RESISTANCE?
the aluminum strip stops the heat from reaching directly to wood and the resistance does its job quickly so the wood does not grab heat .
