Incredible way to bend steel with your plasma cutter

Your new camera and audio rocks....very clear...much improved!

Enjoy and shared the content. Hello from South Carolina, USA

This is awesome Pete 💥🇨🇦👌. Can come in handy for stubborn bolts.

Wondering whether you could just drill out the tip?

Super job Pete! Love your tips, and greetings from Canada. Another Thumbs Up!

Crazy but works! You never stop surprising us!

What happens if you do the same with the pilot arc torch?

Love those Yeehaa moments

Pete, you sometimes come up with great ideas, now you just have to connect argon gas instead of compressed air to a pressure reducer and then you can plasma weld 😜👩‍🏭 Greetings, Marko

More out of the box thinking, love it.

This is really smart, I am going to try this technique to see if I can straighten some welding distortion I did to my trailer. It seemed maybe only axy acetylene would do it but it would be amazing if I could use my plasma cutter!!

Amazing content!

Hello from Nunavut BTW.

Bloody good idea- I gave up oxy years ago, its just too expensive here in Australiabut missed it for bending steel- the press and hammer can do a lot- but just doesnt give the degree of ease that heating it does- that will be my next time attempt with the plasma cutter instead... 😁

Hi,Pete I like your innovations, could you advise the same for brazing. Regards mike uk.

Handy tip , you can also do this with the arc from a tig torch if you hold the arc back at the right distance you don't melt the metal but can get it to glow, takes a bit of practice but works a treat.

Thanks mate.

Great videos Pete. Can you do that with an ag60. What air pressure ?

I like you you old kiwi, brilliant idea!

Not that I'm keen to bugger up a wrench but wow , I love it when a tool can be modified to go beyond design and original purpose. Too many expensive specialty tools just lay in the drawer most of the time, useless and lonely.

love it. dirty but effective.

Great option to have!
If you need to hold something small and fragile like that, rather than use regular pliers use a pair of vice grips maybe with a bit of bike inner tube to soften the jaws (vice grips give heaps more control over the amount of force) then hold the vice grips in your bench vice. Frees up your hands and gives a lot more control for cutting/grinding - plus if you're like me trying to do that with regular pliers you'll drop it three times and it'll bounce under a cupboard to be lost forever.

I don’t know about your plasma cutter, but my instructions say the cutter should always be in contact with metal and running the torch without contacting metal will shorten the life of the machine.

Great idea ,also be good heating rusted on parts , like getting nut off with buggering up threads

did you have your voltage and air pressure all the way down?
