Mk. 3/3 SCROLL BENDER


The versatility of the MK3/3 and MK3/4 Scroll Benders stems from their ability to produce a range of different scroll shapes and sizes. This is achieved by interchanging the hinged segments.

*The maximum Scroll Size quoted is approximate due to the varying temper (spring) of steel.

All tools are supplied complete with operating instructions and spare parts list. Please note that the maximum working capacity stated is for Hot Rolled Mild Steel Bar & Annealed Bright Mild Steel Bar. Working beyond these limits or with material of greater hardness may reduce the operational life of the machines.


EASY TO USE - PRODUCES FLAT & CONSISTENT SCROLLS (NO PRE-HEATING OF METAL REQUIRED)...

  1. On the MK 1/2 Scroll Bender, the end of the metal strip is placed between two central rollers and is gripped by adjusting the moveable roller. On the Mk 2/2, the metal is placed in the slot of the center pillar. For both benders, the metal strip is then drawn around center segment to produce initial part of scroll.
  2. Depending on size of scroll required, metal strip is drawn around further with additional segment(s) dropped in as required. For consistency when producing repeated scrolls mark scroll "tangent point" on base. Finally release finished flat scroll.

SERIES 3 RANGE (CAPSTAN OPERATED)

Being capstan operated, the professional Series 3 benders shown alongside, have one main advantage over their Series 2 counterparts, namely the material is drawn into the machine rather than having to be drawn around the segments. As a consequence these machines do not require such a large unobstructed work area.
