video DIY CNC Wire bender better video
2d wire forming machine I built. Needs some work, the wires twist a lot and it doesn't have the cutter, but it works. It is programmed by controlling the machine via keyboard, the program then remembers the key strokes in a file and can repeat what you made as many times as needed. I strengthened it up a bit and realigned alot of the parts. It works a bit better now.
The bending spindle is powered from a windscreen wiper motor geared down through a chain drive and the solenoid is from a washing machine inlet valve
