Bending Operations
The Model T32961 60mm Pipe Bender is capable
of bending 1½" round pipe up to a maximum
bending angle of 180º. Adjustable drive rollers
provide consistent bending angles and are easily
configured to support workpiece requirements.
IMPORTANT: This machine MUST be mounted
to a workbench or wall before operating. Mounting
prevents tipping or shifting that may occur during
operation (see Mounting on Page 3).
To bend a round pipe:
1.
Space drive rollers evenly apart in slots on
lower frame according to desired bend radius
(see Figure 8).
Note: The distance between drive rollers
determines bending radius. Spacing drive
rollers farther apart will form a larger cir-
cumference in workpiece than spacing them
close together.
2.
Rotate handle counterclockwise to raise
bending roller until there is enough space to
insert workpiece (see Figure 8).

3.
Place workpiece on drive rollers and rotate
handle until bending roller contacts work-
piece (see Figure 9).
Note: Extra length may be required on each
end of workpiece due to irregular angles cre-
ated while forming bends. This length can be
trimmed afterwards.

4.
Rotate handle crank to move workpiece back
and forth over drive rollers and slowly rotate
handle to lower bending roller on workpiece
(see Figure 10). Repeat this motion until
desired bending angle is achieved.
Note: If multiple passes are required for a
specific depth, tighten jam nut on leadscrew
to lock bending roller height (see Figure 10).

5.
Rotate handle to raise bending roller before
removing workpiece from machine. Trim any
excess length from workpiece, if applicable.
