where you finish making your bend and
tighten it.
11. When you wish to do complete 360 °
rings, make sure you clamp just the very
end of your work piece in-between the Dir.
Bend your stock all of the way around and
cut off excess.
12. To make springs, loosen the Stock (2),
and lift stock to be formed slightly as you
bend the stock around the Die. When
starting and finishing the spring, make a
complete 360°ring as started in #11.
Angle Operations
(see figure #1 above):
1. Make sure the Die Mounting Plate (4) is
attached to the body.
2. Make sure the stop (2) is loose.
3. Make the Vise Assembly (5-9, 15) to
the forward position on the arm of the
Mounting plate.
4. Plate the Angle Die’s (13) Spring Pin
(19) into the Mounting Plate ’s small
unthreaded hole.
5. Attach the Angle Die by screwing the
Hex Key Blot (18) into the small threaded
hole of the Mounting Plate.
6. Move the Bending Block Assembly
(16.17.22-24) back all of the way. You
may have to release the Bending Block
Plate (21) by loosening the two Hex Key
Blots (20). Don’
t secure the Locking Plate
at this time.
7. Set stock against the Angle Die and
close the Vise so that it clamps the work
securely against the Die.
8. Move the Bending Block until it is up
against the work and its Face (16) is even
securely the Vise Face (8).
9. Move the Bending Block to the left with
handle (27) until you have achieved your
desired angle bend (remember to account
for “spring-back”).
10. To make repeat bends at 90°, use the
Angle Gauge Assembly (10-12). Screw
the Gauge Shaft (10) into the Angle Die.
Slide the Gauge Stop (11) onto the Shaft
to the desired position (depending upon
the length of your work). This will“stop”
your bend at the proper location.
11. If you wish to do repeat bends at the
same angle (other than 90°), use the stop
( 2).
Spiral Operation:
1. Remove the Die Mounting Plate (4) by
removing the two Hex Key Blots (14).
Loosen the Stop (2).
2. Retreat the Bending Block. Assembly
(16, 17, 22-24) all of the way. Remove the
