The UF-25H Universal Fabricator was designed to form a wide variety of flat stock, solid rounds, solid squares pipe, round tubing and square tubing bending operations in one machine. The multiple space-saving bending features on this metal bending unit makes it very handy where space is limited. One of the most common compliments we get from shop teachers is how little space the UF-25H takes considering its multiple bending capabilities. The combined functions of the UF-25H in one machine makes it similar in its usefulness to the ironworker, which became very popular when it combined punching and shearing in one unit.
The Handy Bend Press Break included with each unit bends heavy mild steel hot rolled flat bar stock up to 4” wide by ½” in thickness. The Handy Bend is useful for bending heavy metal bar stock such as those used in the making of, or repairing, of trailer hitches, construction and farm equipment. Many items which previously required the use of a heating torch can be formed cold on this machine. Each Handy Bend comes with a repeatable bend attachment which is part of the unit. Once the repeatable bend attachment is set up parts can easily be replicated with virtually no variation as shown below.
The air over hydraulic press uses a 25 ton cylinder which can serve for other press forming or straightening operations once the Handy Bend has been removed. The press can then also be used for any special forming notching, or punching dies you may want to make for it requiring up to 25 tons of pressure. You can purchase a Handy Bend itself for use in your own hydraulic press provided you do not exceed the 25 tons it is rated for.
This multiple purpose UF-25H Universal Fabricator will bend pipe up to 1-1/4”, round tubing up to 1-5/8”, as well as square tubing up to 1-1/2”. It will also bend a wide variety of flats solid rounds and squares for your various projects. Each Universal Fabricator comes with a Lock-N-Stop Gauge you will soon realize a bender without one is like a ship without a compass. The Lock-N-Stop Gauge with its engraved numbering system not only gives you a way to repeat your bends but it also provides you with a way to record bends for future reference.
