HELPFUL INFORMATION
TO MEASURE RADIUS:
START AT IMAGINARY CENTER
OF SLEEVE, MEASURE TO EDGE
OF DIE. TIGHTEN BOLT SO TUBE WILL NOT SLIP
ABSOLUTELY NO
GREASE IN RADIUS! THE
DIE RADIUS MUST BE
CLEAN & GREASE FREE
AT ALL TIMES!
NOTE: ALL ROUND TUBE RADIUS
MEASUREMENTS ARE “CENTER LINE RADIUS”
NOTE:
TO CALCULATE LENGTH OF TUBING USED IN A BEND,
MULTIPLY RADIUS OF BEND X 6.28 X DEGREE OF BEND,
THEN DIVIDE BYE 360
EXAMPLE:
6 INCH RADIUS, 90 deg. BEND WOULD BE:
6 x 6.28 x 90 / 360= 9.42
IMPORTANT! LUBRICATING ALL PINS AND “METAL TO METAL” SURFACES WITH ALL PURPOSE
BEARING GREASE WILL GREATLY REDUCE THE EFFORT NECESSARY TO OPERATE THE BENDER
AND AT THE SAME TIME WILL GREATLY INCREASE THE OVERALL LIFE OF THE BENDER.
REMEMBER, GREASE IS OKAY EVERYWHERE EXCEPT IN THE RADIUS OF THE MAIN DIE.
THEN MAIN DIE MUST REMAIN DRY AT ALL TIMES OR THE TUBING COULD SLIP
AND KINK.
