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 RMD dies are color coded to
avoid confusion between pipe and tube
(see table 2).
IMPORTANT: 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.
1. To install the die, slip the die over the
centering pin until the three unequally
spaced drive pins (H) 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.
