wide. The hold-down blade moves at an angle of 45 deg.
to the bed and adjusts automatically to the thickness of the
materials to be bent. The blade is slotted to provide
the clearances necessary to permit raising, in successive
steps, ½-in. flanges on the four sides of the work, as in
forming a box or tray, radio chassis, motor base, or similar
work. A retractable stop at the 90-deg. position
permits the operator to make repetitive right-angle bends.
The throat opens to 5/16 in. to admit flanged parts. All
main parts except the table, or base, are made from
cold-rolled stock.
