Rare old, but in excellent condition, metal bar and band bending arbor press. Using the inside rollers, the completed angle is about 100 degrees for a .125" x 1.5" wide aluminum band with an approx. .500" radius. The outside bars will provide just over 50 degrees. Band stock up to 4" wide by up to approx. .1875" thickness in aluminum can also be hand formed using the front bending rod. I am not sure how thick a piece of sheet steel can be formed, likely 1/8", or so. The hole in the back at top is threaded to allow for a stop bolt for more precise bending repeatability. Unit comes with two hardened steel rollers and two Nylon (I believe) roller inserts. The removable steel rollers are .750" and the Nylon rollers are approximately .722". The permanent press roller is .500" hardened steel.This device was originally sold and used in the orthopedic brace profession back in the days following the U.S. polio epidemic. It is not often seen anymore, but is still a very useful bending tool for bar and small band bending projects. The rollers are not equidistant from the press roller, but I have never found this to be an issue. There may be a reason for this. I don't know.
