KP-44/PPS-43 flat bending jig and kp-44 build
I welded this up from some old gas line I put on the side for this project when I replace my piping I used a 3/4 inch schedule 40 pipe for the die with 2 holes to keep the flat straight, I wanted a little more strenght for the jig so i used 1 inch spaced off of the die and 1 layer of 14 ga. on either side to give me the clearance to push my flat through I welded them to 2 pieces of angle iron. The flat is lowes 14 guage with the flat dimensions from the post here :-* I made my flat larger and the cut out lines smaller to compensate for my sharpie layout tecnique
