Spacing Fingers &
Blocks
The clamping and bending blocks can be spaced
apart for clearance when making pans or boxes.
This requires removing one or more sets of blocks
and spacing the others to match the width of your
pan or box. See Figure 13 for an example.
T-Nut
Figure 13. Example of block spacing.
The T-nuts under the fingers and blocks that
secure them can be moved along their slots to
allow for any spacing configuration required.
As you space the fingers and blocks, make sure
that you properly align them, as described in the
next subsection.

properly aligned with one another.

Aligning Clamping Fingers
1.
Loosen the cap screws that secure the finger,
but do not remove them.
2.
Apply upward pressure to the finger until it
stops, then re-tighten the cap screws.
3.
Examine the entire row of clamping fingers
to make sure the upper edges are all aligned
with one another (Figure 14). If necessary,
repeat Steps 1–2 until they are.

properly aligned.
Aligning Bending Blocks
The bending blocks are aligned in a similar man-
ner as the clamping fingers except you apply
downward pressure (or toward the operator, if the
bending leaf is raised) to align the block edges
with one another.
