8. BENDING WITH SUPPORT DEVICE OR MANDRELS.
The bending support acessory is used to bend bars
up to 16mm to support the bar all the way to the
bending area. This will help stop the bar from flexing
and deforming.
8.1
ADJUSTING THE BENDING ANGLE.
If you haven´t achieved the bending angle you require with the pin and you need to make a small adjustment
you can use the silver metal handles on the side of the machine to move the support mandrels.
Turn the handle to push the mandrel further away to make a tighter angle and bring it towards to make a
more open angle.
Mandrels are used for bars thicker than 16mm as
the rigidity is sufficient that there will be no
deformation.
