Helmold Heavy Duty Bender

Powerful Bender for 3 and 4 pt. Rule

The Helmold Heavy Duty Bender, while similar in design and operation to our Standard Bender, is a more powerful model for thicker rule – 3 pt., 4 pt. and higher. Like the Standard Bender it has an adjustable stop that can be set in an instant, limiting movement of the dies and enabling the user to readily make duplicate symmetrical bends. An adjustable side gauge, identical to the one found on the Standard Bender, is also included with this machine. It can be used on either side of the bender for locating the position of rule relative to the dies.

The Helmold Heavy Duty Bender has a standard 1 1/4” high post that can accommodate rule up to 1 1/4” high and optional mandrel sets designed for thicker rule. The front die holder is recessed, keyed and bolted to eliminate springing and turning; and the rear die holder slides out to accommodate any required mandrel. Optional 1 1/2” and 2” high posts that bend 1 1/2” and 2” high rule are also available for this bender. In order to use mandrels with this machine, a mandrel adapter and dovetail extension are needed. If the mandrels are under 5/8” diameter, a rear support post and link will also be required. Mandrel accessories (shown on pages 28 and 29) can be obtained for the Heavy Duty Bender in heights of 1 1/4", 1 1/2” and 2” high.

The Heavy Duty Bender is designed for use with rule up to 2” in height. Shipping weight is 69 lbs.

The Modified Heavy Duty Bender

This bender has two design modifications as standard. Vise-action die holders allow tightening of loose-fitting dies for precise alignment of new or worn dies. An Allen wrench is used to close the jaws. And a locking dovetail back is designed to deliver consistent bending even after years of use.
