H5502 Benchtop Bending System
The twist tool allows the user to produce twists or
spirals by rotating the workpiece.
Using the Twist Tool:
1.
Insert the workpiece through the hub of the
twist tool until the desired portion of the work-
piece is shown, and tighten the cap screws
down on the hub to hold the workpiece
(Figure 11).
3.
With the cap screws located in the clamp
bracket, lock the workpiece down tightly to
ensure the cap screws will hold the work-
piece while twisting (Figure 12).
2.
Slide the clamp bracket down the body of the
twist tool until it is in the proper location to
clamp the workpiece.
4.
Retighten the cap screws in the hub to
ensure that the workpiece is locked in place.
5.
Now rotate the hub using the handle bars
until the desired effect is achieved.
6.
Once the workpiece has the desired look,
loosen the cap screws on the hub and the
clamp bracket to remove the workpiece.

No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies to
your individual working conditions. Use
this and other equipment with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment or poor work results.

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!
