More Features!


 

  • Built for the long run: You can rebuild clamp and apron assemblies, vertical guides, cams and apron hinge pins or bushings. Entire top clamp assemblies or nose bars can be replace. For BP & U models, replacement finger sets are reasonable priced.

 

  • IMPORTANT feature: Each finger on U and BP models are individually adjustable for leading edge alignment, greatly increasing useful life of set.

 

  • Minimum Reverse bend for all models is 1/2" For 1/4" return, see 1/4" minimum reverse bend apron in "Options" below.

 

  • Beam adjustment (maximum clamp set back) for all models is 1". Additional set back may be ordered.

 

  • Heavy truss rods, bars or plates under table, on & behind clamp, and under apron are adjustable so you can maintain true centers.

 

  • S & L models have openings at clamp ends allowing you to form 3 sides of a pan to depth shown under "Depth of Pan or Box"

 

  • Ask about the true "through opening" heights. This is different than lift of beam and can be very important. (Our lift of beam = through opening) Many other brands do not.

 

  • BP & U model Finger Widths, depending upon the model: one or two 2", two or three 3" and the rest 4". Or you may specify the widths and mix. A spare 4" finger is included with all U models, and is optional on BP models. Use it to cut a slot at an odd width, like 3/4" or 1-3/8". Additional spares and complete sets are so inexpensive you may want several for experimenting.

 

  • Special 4" CUT BACK FINGER to bend up to 4" of 3/16" mild steel w/o adjusting set back or clamping pressure (or damaging one of the "good" fingers), is included with all U models, and is optional for 16ga BP models.
  • Ask about the Hydraulic Assist avail for all models.
