STOCK REQUIRED:
• 3/16” STOCK; 2” MAX WIDTH
• 1 X 16-1/2” Blank
SETUP
Make chalk marks on the blank as shown on the “Bend Sequence.” Note that
the five chalk marks on one end of the blank must be on the opposite face
from the five marks on the other end.
BEND NO. 1
Insert the blank into the Bender to
the #1 chalk mark (as in A), and
bend it to 45°. Re-check the angle.
Chalk-mark the ring, or set a stop,
for ease of repeating the 45° bend.
(Note that Bends #3 and #7 are to
41°.)
BEND NO. 2
Slide the blank to the #2 chalk mark
(as in B), and bend it to 45°.
CAUTION: Because of the number
of bends, it is especially important
to check all bend angles carefully
when making the letter “S.”
BEND NO. 3
Slide the blank to the #3 chalk mark
(as in C), and bend it to 41°. Re-
check the angle.
