GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MACHINE Item Description Function Anti-springback Lever Disengages the lock pin from the locking teeth. Locks the rotation of the bending plate to retract the Anti-Springback Pin Assembly cylinder and provide additional rotation. Pull Handle Assembly Supply the bending force to rotate the bending plate. Quick Release (shown with a For pivoting counter die away from bend die to counter die installed)
GENERAL DESIGN DESCRIPTION You have made a practical choice in purchasing the RDB-100 Manual Bending Machine. It has been carefully built of high-quality materials and designed to give many years of efficient service. The simplicity of design and minimum effort required to operate the machine contributes towards meeting schedules and producing greater profits.
Anti-springback lever engaged Anti-springback lever disengaged 5. After the material is installed, bending can take place. 6. Grab the main bending lever and begin to pull in the counterclockwise direction. You should hear a definite “Click” every 7 degrees. After each click, rotate the lever clockwise to re- engage the next tooth and repeat the process to whatever degree you wish.
Bronze Counter Die Insert “0” Mark Note: Pipe and Tube are not the same, (see table 1) for nominal pipe sizes. All BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL dies are color coded to avoid confusion between pipe and tube (see table 2). IMPORTANT: Damaged or worn tooling should be replaced before attempting to bend material.

Incorrect Counterdie Position Too far away from die Touching die Correct Counter Die Position Approximately 1/8” (3mm) away IMPORTANT: Be sure the long end of the counter die points away from the hook arm, or to the right of machine.
Material Insertion 1. Once the die set is properly installed, the material that matches the die can be inserted (I.E. 1-1/4” tube would go into a die mark D-1250T-R***). 2. Open the counter die quick release assembly and insert the material past the hook arm. The start of bend mark is engraved with an “O”...
Material Insertion Limitations Left Right • The left figure shows the recommended minimum / correct amount of material remaining to be fully supported in plastic slide. • The right figure shows the maximum amount the material can be pulled through the counterdie.
Bending More than 180 Degrees • This machine is capable of bending more than 180 degrees. Contact Baileigh Industrial about your application. o It will require a password to make the machine go past 200 degrees. o Requires special tooling to allow removal of bent part. If standard tooling is used, the material will be locked onto the die.
