timiacobucci Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) I'm pretty sure 3/8" stainless is a good bit harder than 5/16" square. I also don't know if Aaron has tried it but I bet he could get it as well now too. I think it is a similar thing to people not doing the 5" x 1/4" square. Once you are doing harder stock allot of people don't go back and do the smaller stuff. Edited June 22, 2008 by timiacobucci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim71 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Soon as I saw you posted a thread I thought, "Oh yeah, what's Paul bent now". Super great job! I wondered when somebody would defeat that bar. I bet the kink has thrown many off that one. Like I was saying before, the "firsts" are something you'll always have and this is a great one! Later buddy!

timiacobucci Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Damn dude, I guess you answered your own question huh? Crazy bend man. How do you feel it compares to the big g8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyj75 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Awesome Man!! Congrats on a super tough piece of steel! I myself, and anyone else who has tried that thing knows just how crazy stiff that bar is. Makes me wish I could DO 7'' pieces in the big steel range. I have a 6'' one of those in my bending box, may be time to dust it off! Keep this crazy train rollin' Paul, it keeps me hungry for bigger and harder steel!! :rock Congrats again buddy, world-class bend right there!!

EricMilfeld Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 This bar calibrates at 630 pounds. Not too shabby. By the way, Tim Tolbert, this was my first try at calibrating since injuring my finger, and I felt okay doing it. So, tomorrow night I'll calibrate that big, huge bolt you sent my way.

Alawadhi Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Each batch differs from the other. So if you bent this, you bent the others Also, some of the same stock/batch calibrates higher like the SS sq 5/16 FBBC, ask Eric he knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule92 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Ok Paul, I'm going to be gone the next four days, when I come back are you going to have taken down a 3/8" G8 or something? Awesome bend man!!!! And you may have said it in the video (I skipped the wrapping), but why the hell are you bending outside of a car dealership? hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome bend man!!!! And you may have said it in the video (I skipped the wrapping), but why the hell are you bending outside of a car dealership? hahahaha HaHa! I was wandering if anyone would mention that! Eric drives a gas rig and his hours are crazy, so during the day if I want one of my bends filmed and witnessed, I usually meet Eric at one of his drops (which happened to be next to a dealership ) for a short bending sesh! this is getting a little ridiculous huh?! which BTW Eric (same day) bent a very tough shoe to almost 180 - a St. Croix #0 rimmed - thats right! not a LITE....it was a regular! - man that shoe was thick!!!! I honestly didn't think he was going to budge it..............I think I'm gonna just stop thinking when it comes to Eric.

timiacobucci Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Great job on that shoe Eric, can we expect some pics? I think you've temporarily got Paul beat at something now. so during the day if I want one of my bends filmed and witnessed, I usually meet Eric at one of his drops Damn dude you have the sickness. At least you have an accomadating fellow nutter though that goes along with it. (I'm not british but I like that term) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
