Plastic Bending Bars
This inexpensive, precision tool heats thermoplastic sheeting up to 1/2" thick for forming bends. The com-bination of variable temperature control and two heating surfaces adapts to a wide range of material sizes and thicknesses.

Comes in two sizes to handle 4-foot or 8-foot wide sheets. The bars uniformly heat which prevents hot or cold spots. Its heavy duty aluminum construction is built for years of industrial service. Each bar has a rectangular cross section giving two heating surfaces for bending different thicknesses of material. One surface is 5/8" and the other 1" wide. The 1" wide surface is normally used with thicker sheeting. More control for thin materials is obtained by using only one bar instead of two. Use one 5/8" bar for up to 1/8" thick material and use two 5/8" bars for 1/8" to 1/4" material. For 3/8" and thicker material, use the two 1" bars.

Operation is simple with minimal training time. The handles are insulated but gloves should be worn as the handles do get hot.

"Unique Sword"
This unit attaches to one bending bar. After heating, it melts through about two-thirds of the sheet forming a deep V-groove. The sheet is bent with a sharp, non-radius bend resulting in a contact weld along the juncture of the groove. Excess material forms an extra bead along the inside of the bend. The result is a sharp attractive bend with a reinforced inner joint.

Here is an inexpensive way to accomplish what would otherwise require extensive investment in complicated machinery.

Includes: One bar, one sword, one base, one controller (115 VAC)
