BENDING ANCHOR BOLTS AND U-BOLTS
ANCHOR BOLTS
To make a 10” long anchor bolt
shown, from a 12¼” blank:
NOTE:
To make another length
bolt, just use a shorter or
longer blank, or, change the
dimension given in Step 3
below (being sure that
enough material is caught
by the block).
1. With a long hinge pin, attach the
handle and ring loops at their
centre pin holes. Install a 1” die on
the centre pen.
2. With the short hinge pin, install a
2” die in the handle #2 hole).
3. With a long hinge pin, install the
stop block. Orientate the block appropriately for the diameter of the u-bolt
blank:
#2 orientation for 3/8” or ½” bolts;
#4 orientation for 5/8” bolts
4. Insert the bolt blank into the bender so that the un-threaded end extends
beyond the stop block:
• 1/2” for 3/8” bolts;
• 5/8” for ½” bolts;
• 3/4” for 5/8” bolts.
5. Pull the handle around until the bolt shaft is 90° from the anchor.
