DIE SELECTION AND INSTALLATION
Before any bending can take place, the
proper die set must be chosen to match the
material being bent. (EX) 1-
1/2” diameter
tubing requires a die set marked 1-1/2
”
tube.
A
Hook Arm
B Bend Die
C Hold down Bolts
D Plastic Slide
E Counter Die Mount
F Bronze Counter Die Insert
G
“0” Mark
Note: Pipe and Tube are not the
same, (see table 1) for nominal pipe sizes.
All BAILEIGH dies are color coded to avoid
confusion between pipe and tube (see table
2).
1. To install the die, slip the die over the centering pin until the three unequally spaced drive
pins engage the receiving holes formed in the die.
Note: The die will only fit one way.
2. When the drive pins line up the die will drop all the way down to the spindle.
NOTICE: Damaged or worn tooling
should be replaced before attempting to
bend material. This will ensure that bends
are correct and provide a longer life to
machine components.
When handling large heavy dies and/or
material, make sure it is properly lifted
and supported.
NOTICE: Failure to properly bolt down die will result in damage to machine and tooling.
Bend material greater than capacity will damage the machine. THESE CONDITIONS ARE
NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY.
