Strip bending:
Material bed size – 400mm x 200mm – but depth for materials is not a worry as pieces get bent into shape
Maximum material thickness – 5mm
Materials suitable for strip bending:
- Acrylic
- Polycarbonate
- Plexiglass
- ABS
- Polypropylene
For strip bending, set the top switch to the left (for bending) and the bottom switch to the right (fixed cutting)
Remove all protective film from the material
Slide your material sheet under the yellow heating element guard, from the front, using the red ruler guide to butt up to for positioning
You can check the material from a cut out slot in the heater element guards
Heat the material until the part to be bent is flexible
Take the material out from the front when ready
Using a heat resistant mat and jig, or by hand, fold the material to the required angle
Allow the material to cool fully
