BEND LAYOUT EXAMPLE
2

COMMON BEND
(Shown aligned for 90o bend)
For common bending, open arms of tubing bender to position shown above.
Insert tubing into correct size channel. Align “0” mark on roll guide with “0”
mark on bending die. For a 90 deg bend, align the BEND mark made earlier
with the “L” line on roll guide (for other angles less than 90deg, BEND mark
must be adjusted to a different alignment on roll guide - see Fig 3B.
Note that the reference mark is below the tubing bender. Holding both
handles of the tubing bender, draw them together with a slow, steady motion
to create the bend. The bend is complete when the “0” mark on the roll guide
is aligned with the desired angle mark on the bending die. Release the
handles. The tubing may naturally try to spring back against the bend,
resulting in an angle less than intended. Check the bend on an angle
template or protractor to verify.
