and square metal bar.
Operation and Assembly
Bramley Models 42 (AB2) & 62 (AB1) Angle Bending Machines
Upon receipt of the Angle Bending Machine bolt
it down securely to either a sturdy table or the
optional extra Angle Bender Stand - (Part # 060
TBSTAND).
Ensure that the Swivel casting (P4202 / P6202)
is well lubricated by the grease nipple located in
its central boss. It is important to ensure that this
grease nipple is kept lubricated during the life of
the bender.

Attach the Handle (P6208 / P4214) supplied to
the bender using the bolts supplied.
Select material to be bent and clamp it in the vice
of the machine.
The No. 2 Angle Bender has a screw type Vice and
the No. 1 Angle Bender has an Eccentric Block
(P6204) to achieve clamping of the material.

BRAMLEY No.2 ANGLE BENDER (MODEL 042 / AB2)
Due to the variations between metric and imperial
bar specifications the Eccentric Block type clamp
may require shimming behind the Clamp Pad
(P6207) to achieve sufficient clamping force for
some sizes of material.
With the material to be bent secured in the Vice,
adjust the Bending Plate (P6209 / P4209) so that
it just comes in contact with the material.
By backing the Bending Plate (P6209 / P4209)
slightly off the material to be bent a larger bend
radius may be achieved.
Then by pulling on the Bending Handle (P6208 /
P4214), pull around until the desired bend angle
is achieved.
The bend angle can be limited by sliding the Limit
Stop (P6214 / P4222) around the angle quadrant
slot and tightening in the desired position. This is
useful for multiple bends of the same angle.
By loosening both the Clamp Vise and the Bending
Plate, the bent piece of material can then be
removed from the machine.
It is not recommended, or necessary, to use heat
during the bending process as this destroys the
grease lubricant in the swivel casting in which
case seizure may result and affect warranty on
the machine.
When bending softer materials such as aluminium
or copper for electrical bus-bars, it may be
preferable to remove the Clamp Pad (P4207 /
P6207) from the bender and, with a belt grinder or
similar, turn the sharp bending corner into a small
radius to avoid cracking of the material.
