MAKING ANCHOR BOLTS-U BOLTS
Following the directions shown below will allow you to make a 12" Anchor Bolt from a 14-1/4" blank (see Figure

As with all bending, you can make shorter or longer Anchor Bolts by changing the size of the blank. Use a
scrap piece to experiment with length and placement of bends.
Step 1)
Place a 1" die on the center point hole and secure in place with the Long Hitch Pin (#1).
Step 2)
Using the Short Hitch Pin (#2), place a 2" die in the Outer Handle 2nd hole.
Step 3)
Using the Long Hitch Pin (#1) set the Square Stop Block (#3) into place. Set
the Stop Block in either position B or D (see section: Using the Square Stop Block). Position
B (3/8" or 1/2" diameter bolts) or D (5/8" diameter) according to the bolt being used.
Step 4)
Place the stock into the Bender so that the unthreaded end is extended sufficiently beyond the
Square Stop Block (#3) - 1/2" for 3/8" bolts; 5/8" for 1/2" bolts, and 1/4" for 5/8" bolts).
