Ideas wanted for a jig to straighten fencing T posts.
Have a hydraulic press, lots of scrap steel, and quite a few posts that need to be straightened.

Re: Steel T post straightener
Have you tried putting the t post in a hitch receiver and pulling up or pushing down? T posts bend pretty easy.

You can do this and also slide a pipe over them for more leverage if needed.

I’ve straightened them in a press. But, I think Bob’s idea is better.

Re: Steel T post straightener
Good idea. I have a hitch receiver on one of the welding benches. Will try a T post to see if I have enough length under the bench for most of the post.Bob McCarty wrote:Have you tried putting the t post in a hitch receiver and pulling up or pushing down? T posts bend pretty easy.
Problem is, most of my posts get bent just above the blade and some are bent sideways. Darn livestock.
Good idea.

Re: Steel T post straightener
Welded a 2" receiver under the welding bench.
Used 3/4" square stock (2 ea.), and 1/2" square stock (2 ea.) to make spacers to slide in along side the T post to keep it from rolling in the receiver hitch. Welded a tab protruding over only one side of each spacer so that I could pull the spacers out.
Works pretty good, specially on T posts with twists.
