Rod bending
Rod bending in this shop is heavy round wire from coil — 4–14 mm — on the CNC cell. Same head as wire forming. Not a rebar bender and not a tube bender.
Rod and wire at this diameter
Past about 3/8 in, buyers call it rod. The mill still ships coil. We straighten it, feed it, and bend it on the CNC wire former. 1/2 in (12.7 mm) and 14 mm are rod-like in the hand and still wire in the cell. 4–14 mm (0.157–0.551 in).
Carbon, stainless, and other ferrous coil — named grades on materials. Ends may be coined or pierced on the Clearing press. Closures weld. That is fabrication, not a second vendor.
What we actually bend
- Stock 3/8, 7/16, and 1/2 in — frames, D-rings, lift hooks, furnace fixtures
- Other diameters in 4–14 mm with tooling and coil buy-in
- 2D and 3D paths — CNC wire bending
Rebar chairs and supports in this band are a product: rebar supports. The rod is still formed wire, not a jobsite bender.
What this is not
- Tube and pipe bending — hollow, different wrinkle rules
- Hot rebar benders on a slab
- Bar that starts as straight mill length above 14 mm
- Light music-wire and clip rod under 4 mm
