Using the CZ Metal Bender

The CZ Metal Bender is a small but versatile device for bending relatively narrow sheet metal parts. Its flexibility mostly arises from its ability to bend complex shapes and to produce both small radii and relatively sharp bends.

C.Z. metal bender trivia.

The original, I believe, was sold as the UNIVERSAL multi-purpose metal bender. Or it appears to be the same. Made in Germany. Mine was advertised as 'new to the UK' and was received on 31st Jan 1985 at a cost of £29.50 plus £2.50 p&p. from an advert in ME 18th Jan 1985.

It came with 3 page 'Directions for use', A3 folded, comprising a drawing with part numbers 1-15 described under (first page), 3 diagrams of basic operations (second page) and a one page set of operating instructions. This a bit yellowed with age and does not photocopy too well.

Mine is housed in a home made wooden box with internal dims of 285 x 210 x 100mm and prhaps could do with a little more space (I bolted on a 220 x 120 x 18mm piece of ply for easy vise mounting) if more

mandrels were required. It is also just too small to contain the instructions in a plastic folder, without bendi

ng!

It did need that article, six years later, to allow its ubiquitous nature to be more fully appreciated.

I don't use mine often enough - but its not eating anything!
