I need to bend a bunch 90 degree angles on short thick metal.

12g 0.1094" 2.78mm soft steel.

All the pieces are less than 12" long.

Does this like it's worth the $360?

I need to buy something that will bend the thick stuff in a hurry, I have 4-stroke shift kits to get out and didn't really find anything Harbor Freight.

I built my own in a day based on this design. mine can handle 12 gauge steel. I don't know why this guy scores it in his video.

Thanks, but that is way overkill for just making 4-stroke bike mount bases.

I can use 16g steel.
This will bend 16.

$40 at Harbor Freight, picking it up today.

And I found this 5-35mm step drill bit for making my 35mm bearing holes similar to this inch based one.

$15 off Amazon.

If those will work for 20 bases that's all I need for now.
The batch of production will come with my bases pre-made.
