sdbutler10

nice one mate cheeres for that. any pics?

si_c1978

yes indeedy!
the reason i want to grind them is that the material was origionally 1/4" thick and i decided to rough machine the face down to 4.25mm first,
plate steel kind of curls all over the place when you machine the stresses out of a plate, so thicknesses can vary a little if you have had to machine the face, especially if we have legs at the extremes as we do,
and i would rather grind them so they are parrallell and look nice :thumbup:
i still cant find me usb lead so forgive the mms quality,

and a big thanks to matt :clap: i can now download photos straight from my phone! unfortunately my phone had a bit of a seizure trying to download it as it was a 5mp picture, ill just tyake a lesser quality photo next time :thumbup:

aaaah.......
sometimes i can be incredibly dense! :crazy:

sdbutler10

Thanks mate I was not after a perfect finish anyway but looks like I got it 😃
Cheeres fir this mate help me out loads.
Now I got to try and bend 20mm steel bar in to the correct shape any ideas?

si_c1978

yep, iwas going to mention any way as i saw the white line ones in another post.
for the plates hold in a vice between two blocks of wood then bend using nother block and a mallet. that will protect the finish .
for the bar, heat it cherry red hold in a vice and use some thick pipe to pull it round. or if you know a plumber heat it and borrow their pipe bender .

sdbutler10

I got a pipe bender hear and gas bottle so I will attack it one day with that. Cheeres
