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!

H5502 Benchtop Bending System
Using the roll:
The roll can be used for many different shapes
and sizes of arcs, radii, or custom designs. The
first thing to do is get a workpiece.
1.
Move the slide block with the feed roller and
crank attached as far away from the guide
rollers as you can by moving the square han-
dle. If the adjustment screw is stopping the
slide block from opening all the way, just
back off the adjustment screw until the slide
block opens all the way.
2.
Place the workpiece between the feed roller
and the guide rollers (Figure 7).
3.
Using the square handle, squeeze the work-
piece between the feed roller and the guide
rollers.
4.
Rotate the crank to start to form the work-
piece. The more you move the square han-
dle, the smaller the radius will become.
5.
Keep rotating the crank until the desired
radius is achieved (Figure 8 and 9).
6.
When the desired look is achieved, move the
square handle the opposite direction to
remove the workpiece.
