My First Bastard

This was my first attempt at a Bastard. It is way off center but I got it to just under 2". I tried one cut to 6 1/2" after this but I think I shot my load on the 7" because I couldn't get this one past 90 degrees.

Thanks Zach! I tried that 304 once on a crushdown session since I first moved it to 90. I got it from 4 3/4" to about 4" so I was pretty happy with that. Fox told me to post an arm and really come down on it when it gets to that awkward position and it really helped. I think for my next little cycle I will kinda focus on the crushdown, just past 90 seems to be where it gets stuck if it's going to.

MAN! That's exactly my sticking point :tongue ANY movement with cold stainless is a big deal Carl!!! GREAT JOB!!! Keep working with that 304 and the regular bastards will feel super easy! Well, easy-er because that bastard bend looked far from hard ;)
