Distance
Finger
The setback is the distance from the forward
edge of the fingers and the edge of the clamp
block (see
Figure 19
). The setback distance is
determined by the gauge of the workpiece and
the desired radius of the bend. Normally, setback
is adjusted at least 1
1
⁄
2
–2 times the thickness of
the workpiece. (Thicker or tempered workpieces
will need a larger setback. See material gauge
capacities on the data sheet, on page 22.)
To adjust the setback:
1. Make sure all the fingers are aligned with
each other and that the clamping leaf is not
clamped down.
2. Rotate both setback knobs evenly ( Figure
20
, on the next page) to move the front edge
of the fingers toward or away from the edge
of the clamp block. Note—
Make sure the
finger edges are parallel with the edge of the
clamp block or your bend will be distorted.
NOTICE
You must include the thickness of folded
edges or joints when determining the prop-
er setback, or the brake may be damaged.
