4.
Insert the flat stock into the Bender so that it extends 1-3/4″ beyond the center point.
Secure the stock into position against the Square Stop Block (3) with a clamp or vise grip.
5. Bend the stock past 180° until the die on the Outer Handle slides off of the stock.
6. Remove the Square Stop Block (3) and the die. Put on the Right Angle Bending Attachment (7).
7. With the workpiece as tight against the Long Hitch Pin (1) in the center
as is possible, make a right angle bend-see Figure 10.
Figure 10
Making Anchor Bolts-U Bolts
Figure 11
Following the directions shown below will allow you to make a 12″ Anchor Bolt from a 14-1/4″ blank (see Figure 11
above).
As with all bending, you can make shorter or longer Anchor Bolts by changing the size of the blank. Use a scrap piece
to experiment with length and placement of bends.
1.
Place a 1″ die on the center point hole and secure in place with the Long Hitch Pin (1).
2.
Using the Short Hitch Pin (2), place a 2″ die in the Outer Handle 2nd hole.
3. Using the Long Hitch Pin (1) set the Square Stop Block (3) into place. Set the Stop Block
in either position B or D (see section: Using the Square Stop Block). Position B (3/8″
or 1/2″ diameter bolts) or D (5/8″ diameter) according to the bolt being used.
4. Place the stock into the Bender so that the unthreaded end is extended sufficiently beyond the
Square Stop Block (3) - (1/2″ for 3/8″ bolts; 5/8″ for 1/2″ bolts, and 1/4″ for 5/8″ bolts).
5. Move the Outer Handle (9) until you have obtained a 90 degree bend.
