Straightening a vertical bend in 7mm point blade


Recommended Posts

I need to straighten a vertical bend in a 7mm (Code 131) point blade, which causes the tip to stand proud of the stock rail by a few mm. I've tried my S7 rail bending jig and my GW rolling bars but with no success. Any suggested remedies please that don't risk making things worse?

I had that problem with a code 75 bullhead blade and even that was difficult.  I got it close enough with pliers and a vice so that the tie bar arrangement sliding under the stock rails held it down.  But there was a risk of it buckling in the weaker plane. Are you able to make a replacement if it goes wrong ? I wonder if a heat cycle would help ?
