Tube Bender Assembly

Jack Saddle
& Bending
Die Assembly
I
n order to bend a smooth, galding free tube, “Speedy” Bill has the
following recommendations:
1)
Pour a small amount of clean, No.10 weight oil into a shallow pan.
2)
Put in several 3” to 5” wide strips of newspaper, (rag style, not color
printed advertising paper) in the pan and allow the oil to soak the
newspaper.
3)
Remove the newspaper from the pan. Squeeze off excess oil. The
newspaper should not be over saturated with oil.
4)
Place the oiled newspaper between the Bending die and the tube.
Start bending the tube with the newspaper in place. The lubrication
will help to prevent any galding or wrinkling of the tube.
5)
Before bending the actual tube, it is best to try this method on a
shorter, scrap tube to perfect the bending motion. One may decide to
use multiple layers of oiled newspaper to provide a better cushion
between the die the tube.
6)
Mounting holes are provided on the base of the bender to allow the
customer to bolt the bender to a heavy duty workbench. If only a few
bends are needed, CLAMP the bender to a heavy duty work bench.
Tube Bending Tip from "Speedy" Bill Smith
NOTE:
The Tube Bender can be mounted on the work
bench or a stand. 4 Mounting holes are provided at the
base of the Tube Bender for mounting the Tube Bender.

Step 1
Jack Saddle/Bending Die Assembly
a)
Locate the Bending Die Assembly (Item # 16), the Jack Saddle
Assembly (Item #9), the 1⁄2”-13 Hex Bolt (Item #2), and the 1⁄2”-13
Nyloc Nut (Item #3).
b)
Position the Jack Saddle to the Bending Die Assembly as
shown in
Figure 1.0.
Note that the large radius cutout in the Jack Saddle
Assembly should be facing the back side of the Bending Die
Assembly. Align the mounting holes and fasten the two pieces with
the Hex Bolt and Nyloc Hex Nut. Do not over-tighten the assembly,
as it may prevent the Bending Die Assembly from rotating freely.

Tube Bending Operation
Note:
One end of the jack handle will be used to lock the valve on the base of the jack. The other end is used as a jack
handle.
a)
Place the steel tube between the Follower Die and the Bending Die. Slide the tube through the U-shape tube guide at one
end of the Bending Die. If the U-shape guide is too tight, loosen the nut to slide the tube into the tube guide.
b)
Place the Jack Handle into the side holder of the jack. Apply pressure to compensate any slack from the assembly.
c)
Start bending the tube by applying bending pressure to the jack. The Bending Die will rotate and begin to bend the tube.
Use the angle mark on the forming die to determine the bend angle.
d)
After the tube is bent, use the flattened end of the Jack Handle to release the pressure of the jack. The Forming Die will
return to its original position and the bent tube can be removed from the Forming Die.
