EXAMPLE: BENDING DOUBLE TUBE CLAMPS
DOUBLE-TUBE CLAMP
To make a 1” I.D. tube clamp (for clamping two lengths of 1” O.D. tubing),
using a 4½” length of 3/ 16” x 1” hot-rolled flat stock:
NOTE:
To make other sizes of clamps, experiment to find the
appropriate die sizes and stop block orientation.
1. With a long hinge pin, attach the handle and ring loops at their centre-pin
holes. Install a 1” die on the centre pin.
2. With the short hinge pin, install a 1½” die in the handle #2 hole).
3. With a long hinge pin, install the stop block (oriented as in A).
4. Insert the flat stock into the bender so that it extends 1-3/4” beyond the
centre-pin die (as in B).
