pipe bending machines and accessories

The range of pipe bending machines and accessories represent the best of engineering, manufacture and innovation. For many years there has been very little real choice of stand mounted conduit or copper pipe bender but this new range, featuring some much needed new ease of use features and unique accessories carries on the company tradition of innovation and continual product improvement whilst providing superb value for money. 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, minimizing 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 aluminum. This means they can provide a superior and highly accurate bend as the machined area provides a perfect profile to support the pipe and gives excellent contact and virtually no movement. By comparison, most other brands use non machined die casts. Included with all machines is a dual purpose stabilizing and extension bar. It can be used to give extra leverage when performing down-bends, or to give extra stability to up-bends by acting as a counter-lever. For electricians, the bar can also be used as a handy cable reel feed by simply securing it through holes in the vice mount, further adding to its versatility. When not in use the bar can be stored securely out of the way on the side of the machine. Another important development on this range of machines is the new design vice mount. Being more substantial than those of other brands, this vice mount offers added functionality. Perhaps most important is the ability of the company mount to accept a wide range of vices, including those of other leading manufacturers, thanks to the universal slots. These slots are also designed to allow the vice to be secured either flush with the edge of the mount or even to overhang, in order to provide clearance to make the threading of conduit much easier, no longer making the vice mount an obstacle to the threading equipment.
Yet another exclusive feature in this range comes in the form of the hexagonal drive featured on the universal and pipe bending machines. Using the optional hexagonal drive key, a power drill can be used to wind the inner shaft of the bending lever handle to quickly and effortlessly move the roller into position.
