Material Insertion
1. Once the die set is properly installed, the material that matches the die can be inserted (I.E.
1-
1/4” tube would go into a die mark D-1250T-R***).
2. Open the counter die quick release assembly and insert the material past the hook arm. The
start of bend mark is engraved with an “O” on the top of the die. Once the material is placed
properly, the counter die slide block assembly can be tightened.
Inserting material to start Lubricating counter die bending
Important: Liberally apply lubricant along the counterdie and the 1/2 of the
material that contacts the counter die (A) with a WD-40 style lubricant or equivalent. Do not
lubricate the bending die. Lubricating the bending die will encourage slipping of material in the
bending die.
3. Rotate the quick release counter die assembly until it firmly stops against its stop bolt. In
some cases, usually with pipe the quick release will not close all the way. This is ok, as the
forward foot pedal is activated the material will force its way into the die and bend properly.
