FAQ

What stock does this machine bend? Flat or oval aluminum bar; the die can be matched to other profiles and sizes on request.

What powers the bend? A pneumatic rotary die delivers consistent force, so each handle bends the same way.

How is size verified? A digital caliper on the bench lets the operator check handle dimensions quickly.
