MAKING "U" BOLTS AND ANCHOR BOLTS
Following the next steps will allow a 12" Anchor Bolt from a 14-1/4" blank (Fig 18).
As with all bending, shorter or longer Anchor Bolts can be made by varying the length of the blank. Use a
scrap piece to experiment with length and placement of bends. First determine if you are creating an Anchor
Bolt or a "U" Bolt then plan material length and positioning accordingly.
1. Install the 1" Die at the Center Pivot Point around the 15mm x 120mm Long Hitch Pin [G].
2. Using the 15mm x 95mm Short Hitch Pin [H], place the 2" Die in the Handle/Die Receiver 2nd hole.
3. Using a Long Hitch Pin, set the Square Stop Block into place in either position "B" or "D" (Fig 19).
NOTE: Position "B" for 3/8" or 1/2" bolts or "D" for 5/8" bolts.
4. Place the workpiece into the Bender so that the unthreaded end extends sufficiently beyond the
Square Stop Block – 1/2" for 3/8" bolts, 5/8" for 1/2" bolts and 1/4" for 5/8" bolts.
5. Rotate the Handle/Die Receiver until a 90° bend is achieved.
6. Remove and re-position workpiece then reposition and follow above steps for creating a "U" Bolt (Fig 20).
