Maker Hub’s ‘Tool Tip Friday’: Hand Bender

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a hand bender? It’s not what it sounds like.

The Di-Acro Hand Bender is a machine used to bend wire, bar stock and tubing. You can quickly bend hooks and other designs after setting up the machine with the correct tooling, and it uses a variety of dies for different types of bends and radii. Check it out in the Maker Hub’s machine shop, and watch this quick video to see how it works!

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (including non-engineers). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
