ISO bar angles


wobbler

Recommended Posts

I've got some 1/4" music wire (spring steel) that I want to use for iso bars. I've never tried to bend it, but assume that it's not going to move much.

I know I want a straight piece or maybe just a slight kink, a 90* piece, and a few in between. Are there some common angles I should use?

I'm just getting back into bending after a year break so I'm a little rusty, but the initial kink, 90 degrees, and the last half of the crushdown is where I would focus.

Once you get the bar moving, are you able to take it to 90 most of the time? I feel like most ppl can go from 20 to 90 degrees the easiest, it's the other parts of the bend that are toughest, but that may vary a little for everyone.
