Square Tooling Setup
1. Install the bending die (1) on to the spindle. Be careful not to pinch your fingers as you lower
the die on to the spindle. The die will only fit on the spindle one way. Bolt the die to the
spindle using the holes in the die.
2. Install the plastic counter die assembly (6, 7) with the long end pointing away from the hook
arm.
3. Snug up the cap clamps (3). Do not over tighten! Or they will be overly difficult to loosen after
the bend is complete. Note: tighten clamps without material in the die. The clamps are lift
and turn, so you can position them anywhere. This allows the handles to clear the counter-
die mount during bending.
4. Insert the material in to the hook arm (4) and pull in to the die. It may be a tight fit. Continue
to pull until the material is fully seated in the die’s groove.
5. Lube the counter die and the material that will slide along the counter die. Bring the plastic
counter die assembly up to the material, leaving about 1/8” to 1/4" gap. (Note: on some
thinner material it helps to keep the counter die approx. 1” away from the material)
IMPORTANT: Do not lube the bending die surfaces. This will increase the possibility for
slippage. Make sure all the die cap clamp handles (3) are inside the die diameter. They could
catch the counter die mounting assembly and break off.
