600 Hand Tube Bender Instruction Sheet
For 45° Bends:
• Mark the tube at the desired distance (X) from the feature (end of
tube, bend, etc.). The center of the arc segment will be this distance
from the feature.
• Place the tube in the bender as described in Steps 1-5 above.
• Align the mark on the tube with the 45° line on the Carriage (see
Figure 10).

• With the mark on the tube appropriately aligned, move the Carriage
Handle so that the "0" Line aligns with the 45 degree line on the Form.
Making Bends 90° to 180°
Follow the steps 1-5 for making 90° bends.
1. When the "0" Line on the Carriage reaches the 90° mark on the
Form, turn the carriage handle so that the pin moves the "unlock"
Position (Figure 12).
Figure 12 – UNLOCK
2. Rotate the handle around the Carriage until the 90~180° triangle
mark on the Handle aligns with the triangle mark on the Carriage
(Figure 13).
3. Turn the Carriage Handle so that the pin moves toward the "lock"
position. Make sure the Handle is secure to the Carriage. (Figure
14).
Figure 14 – LOCK
4. Swing the Carriage Handle around the Form until the "0" Line on
the Carriage aligns with the desired bend angle (Figure 15). The
Handles will not cross.
Adjustment (Gain) Calculations
When determining tube bend locations, adjustment factors must be
considered to achieve proper layout. Adjustment (Gain) is the difference
in the length of tubing used in a radiused bend compared to the length
of tubing required in a sharp bend, when measured from one end to
another.
The distance around a radiused bend is always less than a sharp bend.
The adjustment factor is determined by the radius of the tube bender
and the number of degrees of the bend. See the following chart for ad -
justment factors. Adjustment factors are subtracted from the center line
distances (see the example).
