Heavy Wall DOM tubing
If heavy wall materials are bent to a tight radius, they can tend to slip in the hook arm causing a
poor bend result, below are some suggestions
•
Use a vise clamp on the outside of the hook arm to “lock” the material in place.
•
Use a piece of two-sided coarse emery cloth in between the hook arm and the material, this
works very well.
•
In only this application, high pressure grease applied to the DIE GROOVE also helps.
•
BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS LLC can make special clamps to hold material in place.

Square Tooling Setup
1. Install the bending die (1) on to the spindle. Be careful not to pinch your fingers as you lower
the die on to the spindle. The die will only fit on the spindle one way. Bolt the die to the
spindle using the holes in the die.
2. Install the plastic counter die assembly (6, 7) with the long end pointing away from the hook
arm.
3. Snug up the cap clamps (3). Do not over tighten! Or they will be overly difficult to loosen after
the bend is complete. Note: tighten clamps without material in the die. The clamps are lift
and turn, so you can position them anywhere. This allows the handles to clear the counter-
die mount during bending.
