- Mounting “roller” counterbending die -
When bending heavy wall proles or solid materials a roller counterbending die must be used. Remove
counterbend die vise assembly and place roller die onto tool post. With material in center former advance
roller die inward until material rests rmly between former and roller. Retract roller die approximately 1½″ to
2″ from material. Warning: Never use roller die ush against material.
- Counterbending die lubrication -
For best results counterbending dies should be kept lubricated with Ercolina
®
spray grease - Part # 810.
Proper lubrication extends counterbend die life and improves bend quality.
- Loading workpiece -
1. Slide workpiece into gripper arm and groove of center former
2. Using hand wheel advance counterbending die forward until material rests securely between former
and die (see FIG. 1).
3. Properly adjusted vise and counterbending die assembly should be perpendicular to workpiece and
swing freely counterclockwise to release workpiece (see FIG. 2).
Note: If vise assembly pivots away from material at beginning of bend, reduce pressure on vise. Proper
counterbending die adjustment insures satisfactory bends.
