Can this bend 1/4 inch aluminum diamond plate?

Diamond plate and breaks of this type never go well togetherAnd 1/4's a bit much.......

No!!! It's a good brake but it's not designed to handle that tough and thick materials. I believe 20 ga. mild steel is the max.

absolutely... aluminum is soft metal. Suggest drilling a pilot hole first though.

Yes that would work. You have to Physically bend each piece a little to open up the radius.

I wouldn't trust it to. I tried to stretch it over a 13" plate with about a 1" depth and the wire broke at one of the places it bends. The further you stretch it, the more likely it is to break.

It is pretty hard metal and might break...but one could cut it with a hacksaw and drill another hole to affix if one is handy and has the tools..certainly myself had no desire or occasion to try to bend it straight...

No, the stainless steel is a fairly heavy gauge and would require quite a bit of force to bend. Even the small funnel is quite strong.

It wouldn't work, since you will be creating "movement" from the "hex" part and it will not transfer to the angled end. In other words (in the position pictured) it will move <--->(horizontally), but not vertically. Of course this applies ONLY if using a hammer drill. I don't know if that answer your question.

Yes, As long as you have a 1/4-20 attachment screw. I don't think it's a perfect solution for that, however. There are several 1/4-20 holes in the bottom of the plate, just nothing particularly centered...

I really don't know why it would bend. Our unit does not because the handle is very strong. Hopefully you ordered the correct model.

This particular cover is flat, It may have a little give, but I don't think it would safely bend to a curved shape without cracking. There are "raised" plate covers that may work better for you.

No, I have bent some 1/8 by 1 pieces but even that wasn't very easy or very clean. I doubt it would ever bend a 6 inch wide piece properly.

Based on their shape, I don't think so. Mine mount flat, though. But, because they are not flat and have a small lip around the edge, I don't think you could get a good bend.

Doubtful as it puts a lot of pressure on the piece. It might bend or crack a bowl.

I don't know if you can plate over it. I would check with the jeweler and see what they say

maybe a little. it is aluminium. you couldn't bend it 90 deg. it would kink

Yes. Depends on the thickness. I have tapped 1/4" aluminum with no problem. As with taps the deeper the hole the more caution you should use. If using a cordless drill use it on the screw setting so as not to break the tap. Use lube.

In haven't tried more than one relatively sharp bend but you could ask them at Gardus. http://gardusinc.com/ you can call them or email them. Look under "contact us" in the black bar.
