Angle Operations

1.Make sure the Die Mounting Plate (4) is attached to the Body. Refer to Figure 1 for the hole positions needed for Angle Operations.

2.Make sure the Stop (2) is loose.

3.Move the Vise Assembly (5-9 & 15) to the for- ward position on the arm of the Mounting Plate.

4.Place 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 Bolt (18) into the small threaded hole of the Mounting Plate.

6.Move the Bending Block Asembly (16, 17, 22-

24)back all of the way. You may have to release the Bending Block Locking Plate (21) by loosening the two Hex Key bolts (20). Do not secure the Locking Plate at this time.

7.Set the 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 with the Vise Face (8).

9.Move the Bending Block to the left with the Handle (27) until you have achieved the 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 posi- tion (depending upon the length of your work). This will “stop” the 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 Operations

1.Remove the Die Mounting Plate (4) by remov- ing the two Hex Key Bolts (4). Loosen the Stop (2).

2.Retract the Bending Block Assembly (16, 17 22-24) all of the way. Remove the Face Plate

(16)by unscrewing the associated Hex Key

Bolt (17). This will reveal the Bending Block Wheel (22).

For steps 3, 4, & 8, see Figure 2.

3.Attach the Spring Forming Mounting Disc (32) with two Hex Key Bolts (in position1).

4.Place the Spring Pin (25) of the Spring Forming Die “A” (31) into the hole 3 and attach the long Hex Key Bolt (26) in position 2.

For steps 5 & 7, see Figure 3.

5.Insert the stock to be bent into the hole of Die “A”.

6.Move the Bending Block Assembly forward until it contacts the stock and tighten it in posi- tion.

7.Bend the stock until the portion being formed is about at the Pin (marked with a “P” in the figure).

8.Now put the Spring Pins (25) of Spring Forming Die “B” (30) into holes 4 & 5.

9.Finish your bend by wrapping completely around the Forming Dies.
