Home-made Flanger/joggler

[smoggyrich]

Thought I'd have a go at a home-made flanger...













Sometimes it's handy having a milling machine at your disposal.

I haven't had a go of it yet. will have a test and let you know the results. I have a feeling I will need deepen the groove a tad.

Had a test run with some 1.2mm steel and it worked a treat.....

Excellent, I like that a lot!

I need a mill

for those of us without, could the same thing be achieved by welding a strip of steel to two blocks to get the step, just along the side and front so as to keep a nice square edge on the inside?
And maybe weld a hinge on the back

Check this one out on Youtube... ***WARNING*** turn Volume down!!!

Welded by Stevie Wonder.

Nicely made, I have made them for use in presses, all that hammering looks like hard work.
I knocked this roller style one up about 30 years ago just to do one job and its still working well, easier to follow curves with too.


Usually turn it with a ratchet and 15/16" socket, not the spanner shown here


1.5mm galv sheet, much thicker than the tool was made for.

I like the look of that mate. Might have to have a go a one of those.

what steel did you use for the Wheels? EN19 perhaps?

Thanks Paul, Hope you don't mind but I might just borrow your design, seems simple and effective.

Cheers
