6. If the material slips during the bending operation, install the hook arm clamp (5). Do not use
it unless you have to.
7. Activate the bender and bend to the desired angle.
8.
To remove the material, open the counter die and return bender to the “home position”.
Using a soft mallet, gently tap the cap clamps open and the material will spring out of the die
(1). Remove the material and re-snug the cap clamps.
9. Install the next piece of material to be bent and repeat these steps.
Large Size Square
When bending larger than 1.5” (38.1mm) thinner wall square tubing, the counter die position
seems to work better between 1/2" and 1” (12.7-25.4mm) farther away from the die. This seems
do reduce side wall distortion and inner wrinkling. Although this suggestion is to help on large
size, the same steps can be used for any square, if trying to achieve better results. If the square
material slips in the hook arm, use the supplied clamp and bolts to hold in place.
BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL offer crush bend dies to form a concave crease on the inside of square
bends to reduce the possibility of wrinkling.
