Bender help plz

[Piero]

Hi guys

Looking for a little help/photos

I've newly acquired this bender,

It differs from other ones I've seen of the same make as in mine has two adjustable bolts per plate.

The vice has to threads in it for accepting two adjustment bolts, but only one bold is present.

Possibly it has lost one

Note two bolts

The vice has only one fitted but there is a thread cut for two bolts

It's simple enough to make one but I am also interested to learn more about this bender the the exact model I have acquired

Well I’m seeing two bolts, no empty tapped holes, so am I missing something?

Your looking at the adjuster plate

Not the vice

Friends bender nothing in it, no second spring either.
But a lot of grinding dust

The two big red arrows pointing at two screws were just a test then?

Keep the screw in the low hole for narrow stock/round... move it up for wider stock- so its nearer the middle of whatever youre bending.

From what I've found out.

Most are a number 2 bender

Mine is a number 3

You probably did what I mostly do.

Looked at the pics but didn't fully read the post.

I did explain

2 holes on vice to move and tighten to different size stock as mentioned , where's the handle ? Is it a large tube ?

Mates is about 5/6 ft thick wall
Great tool for brackets though
