Therefore, I decided to make for my own. The construction of this
roller bender is more user-friendly to everyone, is relatively

roller (Cylindrical metal piece (1.5” diameter) and 12.5mm hole).

This M12 bolt is provide the screw arrangement to manually lowered

and forced the middle roller against the bar or rod, and at the last
attach the handle to rotate the middle roller.

Handle is attached with middle roller by using of 2 Nos. M4 allenky
bolts (1” length). I have used M10 Bolt (3” length) with nut, metal piece
5”*1” (5mm thickness) and wooden cylindrical piece to make handle.

Step 3 :- Ready To Use

Now the roller bender is ready to use. In this mechanism, after the bar
is initially inserted between the three rollers, the middle roller is
manually lowered and forced against the bar or rod with a screw
arrangement. This causes the bar or rod to undergo plastic and
elastic deformation.


The bar between the three rollers will take on the shape of a
cubic polynomial, which approximates a circular arc. The three rollers
are then rotated moving the bar along with them. For each new
position, the portion of the bar between the three rollers takes on the
shape of a cubic modified by the end conditions imposed by the
adjacent sections of the bar. When either end of the bar is reached,
the force applied to the centre roller is incrementally increased, the
roller rotation is reversed and as the rolling process proceeds, the bar
shape becomes a better approximation to a circular arc, gradually,
for the number of passes required to bring the arc of the bar to the
desired radius.
