4. Restart rolls and continue until bend is
completed (b, Figure 14). Support
workpiece as it exits machine.
5. Make further passes if needed, along
with incremental idle roll adjustments.
Forming a Tube
1. Adjust upper press roll as needed for
workpiece thickness.
2. Feed workpiece into machine. As it
nears the end (a, Figure 15), stop and
reverse direction (b, Figure 15).
3. Make further passes if needed, along
with incremental idle roll adjustments.

Bending Wire
There are three wire grooves at the end
of the press rollers to accommodate a
5/32”, 11/64” and a 7/32” wire.
Use the smallest groove into which the
wire will comfortably fit. Bend the wire
using the same principles as described
for forming a radius. To make a complete
loop of wire, use the instructions for
forming a tube.
Maintenance/Lubrication
Use caution when doing
maintenance work around the shear
blades.
1.Apply #2 lithium tube grease once a
month to the grease nipples on both ends
of frame (A, Figure 16).
2.Keep the slip rolls clean and rust-free,
and frequently apply a light coat of oil to
them.
3.Lightly brush multi-purpose grease onto
the gears at the end of the rollers (B,
Figure 16). Turn operating handle to
distribute the grease.
4.Keep other exposed areas clean and
lightly coated with oil, such as the shear
blades, table and upper dies. (Remove
