  • Page 2 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE product. The compact metal parts bender allows you to economically make a variety of bends in flat, square or solid round stock. These instructions provide basic information on using the bender, plus step-by-step examples of how to bend stock to make several common products.

  • Page 3: Table Of Contents

    • ALWAYS wear safety goggles when bending parts and when grinding or sanding them. • ALWAYS be sure that enough material extends beyond the stop block and forming die when making bends, to be sure the material does not come free and allow the handle to release suddenly. •...

  • Page 4: Assembly

    ASSEMBLY 1. To attach the ring assembly to the stand (refer to the illustration opposite): a. Attach the loop end of the ring assembly to the stand. Use the long bolt, flat washer, thick spacer (inside the loop), thin spacer, lock washer, and lock nut.

  • Page 5: Basic Operations

    BASIC OPERATION Most of this manual is devoted to showing you how to create basic shapes. Other than these specific instructions, setting up the bender to form your particular shape will involve a certain amount of trial-and-error. You will notice some differences in operation depending on whether you are forming the piece around a die, or whether you are making a sharp-angle bend in the piece.
  • Page 6 After determining the handle rotation, insert the fixed stop into the next open hole and use as a guide for bending additional parts. When greater precision is required, attach the adjustable stop as accurately as you can at the limit of handle rotation.

  • Page 7: Using The Stop Block

    USING THE STOP BLOCK IMPORTANT: Read page 4 before you proceed to this section. THE PURPOSE OF THE STOP BLOCK The stop block prevents the material from rotating while a forming die in the handle bends the material around either the centre pin or another die that has been installed on the centre pin.
  • Page 8 2. Install the appropriate die at the appropriate hole in the handle. 3. Inset a piece of the material to be formed. With the handle all the way back (anticlockwise), install the stop block in the orientation that places it as close to the centre pin as possible.

  • Page 9: Using The Sharp-Angle-Bend Attachment

    USING THE SHARP-ANGLE-BEND ATTACHMENT PURPOSE OF THE ATTACHMENT The sharp-angle-bend attachment is used instead of the stop block when you make a right-angle bend or other sharp bend in flat material. POSITIONING THE ATTACHMENT In contrast to the stop block, the sharp-angle bend attachment has only one correct orientation—as shown at right, and with the hinge pin...

  • Page 10: Examples Bending Handles

    EXAMPLE: BENDING HANDLES HANDLES FROM ROUND STOCK To make a typical handle, using a 9in. length of 3/8in. round stock and two pieces of flat stock: NOTE: To make other sizes of handles, experiment to find the appropriate die sizes and stop block orientation. 1.
  • Page 11 HANDLES FROM FLAT STOCK To make a typical handle, using a 9” length of 3/16” x 1” hot-rolled flat stock: NOTE: To make other sizes of handles, experiment to find the appropriate bend locations. 1. Install the sharp-angle-bend attachment. 2. Place chalk marks on the material as shown under “Bend Sequence.”...

  • Page 12: Bending Tube Clamps

    EXAMPLE: BENDING TUBE CLAMPS SINGLE-TUBE CLAMP To make a 1” I.D. tube clamp (for clamping 1” O.D. tubing), using a 4½” length of 3/16” x 1” hot-rolled flat stock: NOTE: To make other sizes of clamps, experiment to find the appropriate die sizes and stop block orientation.
  • Page 13 9. Make the second bend by pulling the handle until it is about 1/8” from the stop pin. EXAMPLE: BENDING DOUBLE TUBE CLAMPS DOUBLE-TUBE CLAMP To make a 1” I.D. tube clamp (for clamping two lengths of 1” O.D. tubing), using a 4½”...
  • Page 14 5. Make the first bend by pulling the handle around until the handle die runs off the end of the piece. 6. Reverse the part end-for-end. Insert it into the Bender so that it extends 1-3/4” beyond the centre-pin die (as in C). 7.
