Diamond plate

Forget where but we took ours to a guy in the south metro and for smaller pieces like that I think it was like 5-10 a break with a minimum charge if you didn't do much. Guy we found didn't even really offer it to the public we just happened to call and said we would pay so he quoted us on the spot.  Have heard some people try to go homemade with steel bars or 2x4's and the results were always terrible.

Bought my diamond plate from McNeilus. They sheared and bent it for a very reasonable price. I had some pieces that were an afterthought. Since I had lots of drops leftover I attempted to bend some myself with surprisingly good results. Clamped the work piece between two stout straight edges and slowly made the bend with a deadblow hammer. Sounds crude I know but it really did turn out. Made several bends this way up to about 3' long and every one looks good. I wouldn't plan to do things this way but for things you forget or add, it's an option.
