Bend round bars & wire? - Woodworking Talk

I will bend 4mm round iron & brass rod in several 90-degree angles, one after another with about 1 cm in between. I can not for the breaks? I have also tried to pre-threaded rod, but the same thing happens? Do you have any tips how to do this?

You will need to heat them.

So thin media ought to be able to bend without heat, I think? They're almost entirely of steel wire.

If it works all is well. If not your steel and brass is too brittle. You must find a different type of steel that is more ductile.
