MAGNABEND HANDYMAN MODEL 
logo
This is a new design electromagnetic sheet metal folder with emphasis on easier manufacture.

Handyman model5

By following the links below you will find a complete set of fully dimensioned drawings for this model of the Magnabend folder.
I may add refinements to the drawings if there is sufficient interest.
The drawings do not necessarily follow strict conventions but rather are intended to be easy to follow.

The whole machine was modelled in 3D software (Fusion 360) and the drawings have been produced from the 3D model. This approach helps to guarantee accuracy of the drawings but there may still be a few mistakes.
Please contact me if you find any errors.

The content below is intended to benefit both Manufacturers and Hobbyists alike.
It is hoped that this information will lead to better construction outcomes for all.

This page will relate to only a small bending machine, 670mm long, and will incorporate many new ideas, some of which will
also be applicable to longer machines.
