Brief Description:  2-Bending HS-710 & 714

Remember to mark the bend lines for HS-710 &714 at the same location as HS-702 and not the lines that were marked for tapering. Ask me how I know. Just cleco back to HS-702 and mark at the bend line. One of the best little tools I bought is a digital angle guage. It is accurate to .05 degrees and has a zeroing out button which makes it easy to determine a relative angle. All my bends were within .1 degree of 6.

If you look closely at the pictures, you can see I did not bend at the bend line that matches up with HS-702. I straightend to bars and rebent them. They looked great but something in my head kept bugging me about the multiple bending. I decided to buy new parts and redo for piece of mind.
$50 lesson learned. Pay attention!!
