OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued)
3. Fully flatten lip by using magnetic clamping only. Position workpiece
as shown in Figure 2. Press safety button and lift handle slightly.
4. Lower handle and remove workpiece.
BOX BENDING:
1. Starting with a notched blank, make the first two bends using the full
length keeper as in straight bending.
2. Select one or more of the shorter keepers and position them as
shown in Figure 3. It is not necessary to make an exact length since
the bend will carry over up to 1” between keepers, depending on the
type and thickness of material being bent.
PARTIAL BENDS:
1. The open end design of the MAGNABEND allows partial bending.
2. Position the portion of the workpiece to be bent under a keeper
at the end of the magnetic base. Allow portion to be left flat to
extend beyond the end. (Figure 4)
3. Proceed as with straight bending.
ROLLED EDGES:
1. Rolled edges of various diameters may be formed, using
any mild steel round bar.
2. Position the workpiece, keeper and bar as shown in Figure 5.
Be sure that keeper does not overlap front pole piece. Position
the leading edge of the workpiece as nearly under the center of
the bar as possible, to obtain a minimum flat section in the finished roll.
3. Wrap the workpiece around the bar with the bending beam as in
straight bending. Reposition the workpiece as shown in Figure 6 and
continue to wrap until the desired roll is reached. The number of
wrapping operations will vary with the diameter of the bar and the
material being bent.
