SHEET METAL & WIRE FORMING
Remove the cover (#33) from the machine. The roller gears (#30) should have a coating
of general purpose grease for smooth operation. Clean any dirt or excess grease from
the rolls.
The following steps apply to both wire and sheet metal bending.
Adjust screws (#27) to the thickness of the stock. It should feed between rollers (#31) and
(#32) without slipping or binding when the handle (#18) is turned. The material is fed into
the rollers from the front of the machine.
Back Pressing Roll (#24) forms the radius in the material. The closer it is to the feed
rollers, the smaller the radius will be. Handle Knobs (#26) adjusts the spacing of the back
roller.
Metals will have different bending characteristics. Some are very pliable, while others
have considerable spring or memory. Practice before beginning an important project.
