REQUIRED MATERIAL
Flat steel bar 4.8 mm,
max. width 50.8 mm.
1 bar length 355.6 mm
BENDING PROCEDURE
On the long piece (length 355.6 mm), make the bend markings as seen on the picture.
Bend No. 1
Slide the work piece in the machine all the way to the mark
No. 1 (pic. A) and perform 45° angle bend. Check the angle
and move on to make the following bend. To make the
second 45° angle bend easier, make a mark on the ring
or place a stopper there, instead of the mark.
Bend No. 2
Slide the work piece to the mark No. 2 (pic. B) and perform
45° angle bend. Check the angle.
Bend No. 3
Slide the work piece to the mark No. 3 (pic. C)
and perform 45° angle bend. Check the angle.
Bend No. 4
Turn the piece (see picture D and move
it to the mark No. 4 and perform 45°
angle bend. Check the angle.

REQUIRED MATERIAL
Flat steel bar thickness 4.8 mm,
max. width 50.8 mm.
2 flat steel bar 127 mm long
1 flat steel bar 142.9 mm long
BENDING PROCEDURE
(flat steel bar 127 mm long)
Mark the locations of the bends on both bars (127 mm), as seen on the picture.
Bend No. 1
Slide the work piece in the machine all the way to the mark No. 1 and perform 45° angle bend.
Check the angle. To make the second 45° angle bend easier, make a mark
on the ring or place a stopper there, instead of the mark.
Bend No. 2
Turn the work piece around (picture B) and slide
it toward the mark No. 2 and perform 45° angle
bend. Check the angle. Remove the stud that
holds the sharp-angle die in place.
Remove it from the machine.
Final steps
Stitch weld the 142.9 mm long piece
between the arches (see the picture).
Make sure that 90° angle is correctly
set between both pieces. Grind and
sandblast all sharp edges.
