The only setting left is the mandrel, using the selector switch select “Mandrel” and press
retract, now pressure die “Retract”, and finally clamp “Retract”, we now have to repeat the
mandrel extend, once extended turn the pump switch off and remove the material. The
mandrel setting is critical, so the body of the mandrel needs to protrude ¼-
½ “ “PAST” the
tangent line of the die, set this using a straight edge. (Fig. 9a&b) After successful bends
have been completed, the mandrel position could be documented from the back of the
mandrel body to a known spot on the machine, for ease of set up.
(Fig. 9a- Notice the marker line on the die, that is the tangent line.)
(Fig. 9b- Notice how the front of the mandrel body is about 1/
4“ past the tangent line.)
