H5502 Benchtop Bending System
-9-
Bender
Bending, rolling, and riveting are the basic func-
tions of this tool.

Figure 5. Workpiece bent with the 90˚ side of
the bending block.
Figure 4. Workpiece bent with the 60˚ side of
the bending block.
3.
With the desired angle of the bending block
facing the guide rollers, move the square
handle until the desired angle is reached. For
more angle, move the square handle farther
and for less angle do not move it as far.
4.
Once the desired angle is reached, back off
of the bending block by moving the square
handle the opposite direction. When there is
enough clearance remove the workpiece.
Using the bending block:
1.
The bending block has two main positions. In
one position the block can bend the metal at
a minimum angle of 60˚ (Figure 4) and the
other at a minimum angle of 90˚ (Figure 5).
Choose the one best for the task at hand.
2.
Place the workpiece between the bending
block and the guide rollers (Figure 6).
Make sure that the tool is mounted solid
and secure to the work surface. Be aware of
the surroundings when mounting tool, so
that work may be done in all four sides.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire fabrication
process!
