Bending machine is fabricated from 30mm square section tubing to provide a rock solid frame which more than stands up to the rigors of daily use. The frame is designed to give maximum stability, minimising the risks of sideways movement or skidding across floors, making operation as easy and effective as possible. The formers, which are key to creating a perfect bend, are machined cast aluminium.

Bending is a process by which metal can be deformed by plastically deforming the material and changing its shape. The material is stressed beyond the yield strength but below the ultimate tensile strength. The surface area of the material does not change much. Bending usually refers to deformation about one axis.
Bending is a flexible process by which many different shapes can be produced. Standard die sets are used to produce a wide variety of shapes. The material is placed on the die, and positioned in place with stops and/or gages. It is held in place with hold-downs. The upper part of the press, the ram with the appropriately shaped punch descends and forms the v-shaped bend.
