With some nuts and bolts from my neighborhood hardware store, some scrap angle aluminum laying around my shop for years, an old UHMW cutting board and a couple of bearings from a wheel I built this fret bender. The left bearing is in an elongated slot to allow adjustments for a different radius. It was kind of a pain to zero in on a 16 inch radius but since that is the only one I'll be using it will be fine.

Nice. I just finished making this one. It was a little more expensive though. I paid $12.50 in parts  |
