I’ve dealt with a lot of blueprints for construction. I even spent a year of high school doing pre-cad drafting. But I don’t have much experience dealing with metal fabrication/mechanical drawings, so I have some questions.
I was looking at the free plans available online for the Hossfield #2 bender clone. I’m unsure on common practice when working with drawings that negate info such as bend angles and cut lengths.
Is it standard that this type of info is negated from the plans? Am I supposed to print the plans full size and make my measurements or is it common to have to use trig to get the
Basically I’m wanting to know common practice when building from drawings.
If you’re unfamiliar with the plans, here’s the link:
Bender Similar to the Hossfeld #2
If you look at ‘Sheet 02 Main Frame Arms’ you’ll see that the piece is bent and the bend angle and cut lengths aren’t in the
Thanks.
