Another option is a "direct mount" (see example
below) where the machine is secured directly to
the workbench with lag screws and washers.
The base of this machine has mounting holes
Cleanup
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.
Workbench Mounting
Mounting hardware has been included with the
Model T32716. However, you can use different
hardware with a 10mm diameter if your workbench
or surface requires a different size or type.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust preventative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• Disposable rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
Put on safety glasses.
1.
2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.
Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/

degreaser is effective, the rust preventative
will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint
scraper, scrape off as much as you can first,
then wipe off the rest with the rag.
that allow it to be fastened to a workbench or
other mounting surface to prevent it from moving
during operation and causing accidental injury or
damage.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" (see example below) where holes are
drilled all the way through the workbench—and
hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to
secure the machine in place.

then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality

NOTICE
Avoid harsh solvents like acetone or brake
parts cleaner that may damage painted surfaces. Always test on a small, inconspicuous location first.

Changing Fingers
The Model T32716 comes with five fingers of
various lengths:
sizes can be used to perform a variety of bending operations, including pan and box and radius
bending. Once you have planned your bend,
remove any installed fingers and replace them
with the finger (or fingers) needed for that bend.

using this machine.
5. Use handle to lower and press fingers against bending prism to align them (see Figure 7).
The bending prism is what the fingers press a
workpiece up against to achieve a bend. This
prism can be turned over to reveal a shallower
V-groove with a smaller bending radius on the
other side.
To flip bending prism:
Typical Bending Operation
Use the following steps to perform a typical bend
on a workpiece. If needed, the brake stop can be
adjusted so more than one bend can be made at
the same location. For pan or box bending, refer
to Pan & Box Bending on Page 7. For bending
a cylinder or cone, refer to Radius Bending on
Page 8.

Tip: During a bending operation, workpiece scor-
ing may occur. To avoid these marks, keep the
bending prism free of burrs, and adhere a strip of
tape on the workpiece over the area that will be
bent.
Eye injury hazard! Always
wear safety glasses when
using bending function of
machine.
Do not operate unless machine has been
securely clamped or mounted to workbench.
Failure to secure machine before use could
result in crushing injuries.

Pan & Box Bending
When bending a piece of flat metal into a box, you
should be able to make the first two bends with
whichever fingers you like (see Figure 15).
Figure 15. Example of straight bending.
Use this information as well as the following steps
to bend a pan or box. Install the brake stop so the
pan height will be the same on all four sides.
Eye injury hazard! Always
wear safety glasses when
using bending function of
machine.
However, for the remaining bends, there needs to
be clearance for those first bends (see Figure 16).

Bend remaining sides.
Shearing Operation
In addition to bending metal, this machine also
consists of a set of reversible knives that shear up
to 20-gauge full width mild steel. A movable lower
knife passes next to the fixed upper knife, creating
a shearing action. For repetitive cuts at the same
dimensions, the shear stop can be used.
Always wear safety glasses, work boots,
and protective work gloves when shearing
and handling sheet metal. Sheared metal
can be sharp and easily cut.
Radius Bending
Radius bending is most commonly used to make
cylinders and cones, both of which are formed by
making a series of small, closely-spaced bends in
the workpiece.
For cylinders, the bends are evenly spaced and
parallel to the workpiece edges while cones have
a series of uneven bends that are not parallel to
the edges (see Figure 19).
Uneven Bends
Even Bends
Do not operate unless machine has been
securely clamped or mounted to workbench.
Failure to secure machine before use could
result in crushing injuries.
Only shear stock that falls within capacity of
this machine. Stock thicker than 20 gauge
will damage machine when sheared.

Make sure no body part is
near knives when shearing
occurs. Failure to follow
this warning may result in
cut or pinch injuries.

rear of machine and align mark from Step 1
with fixed blade edge (see Figure 20).

Cleaning
Cleaning the Model T32716 is relatively easy.
Periodically wipe down the machine to remove
dust and oil.
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces of your
machine by applying regular applications of a
product that is designed to prevent rust and oxidation, or you can use products like those shown in

Lubrication
When lubricating this machine, first clean the
components. This step is critical because grime
and dust build up on lubricated components,
which makes them hard to move. Simply adding
more lubricant will not result in smooth moving
parts.
For lubricating, we suggest an ISO 68 equivalent
lubricant and a NLGI#2 grease (see Figure 23).

Adjusting Fixed Knife
The fixed (top) knife should be positioned against
the shearing (bottom) knife to achieve a snug and
consistent knife rub without causing the knives to
bind at any location. Misalignment of the knives
can result in machine damage and poor cutting
results.
Eye injury hazard! Always
wear safety glasses when
servicing machine.
Make sure no body part is
near knives when shearing
occurs. Failure to follow
this warning may result in
cut or pinch injuries.

sheet of paper to test shearing results (see

Rotating/Replacing Knives
Both of the knives on the Model T32716 can be
removed and rotated to reveal one of the additional cutting edges. Both knives have four available
cutting edges. However, the position of the upper
and lower knives are not interchangeable. When
all edges on the knives have reached the end of
their usable life, they can be reground by using
wet grinding techniques for SK-4 metal or better.
If sharpening services are not available in your
area, replacement knives are available through
grizzly.com and must be replaced as a set.

wear safety glasses when
