MAKING HANDLES
Round Stock
To make handles using round stock, the Square Stop Block (#3) is used rather than the Right Angle Attach-
ment.
Use a 10” piece of 5/8” round stock and two sections of flat stock for the ends. The measurements given are
general guides only. Measurements should be adjusted according to your preferences and specific needs. If
changing stock size, you will have to experiment to obtain the best points for each bend.
Step 1) Place the Square Stop Block (#3) into place.

5/8” Round Stock
With the Handle (part #8/9) in the normal position, place the 1” Die on the Center Pin. Place
the 2” Die in the 2nd hole- as in Figure 7. Insert the round stock so that the end extends 2”
down past the 1” Die - see Figure 7. Make the first bend at 90 degrees.
Step 3) Remove the round stock from its original position. Place the second end into the Bender in the
same way as the first bend. You want both ends to be bent in the same direction. Make the
second bend at 90 degrees. Remove from the Bender.
Step 4) Decide on how you want the round stock to fit with the flat stock. Drill 5/8” holes into the flat
stock at the desired position. Insert the round stock into these holes.
Step 5) Weld the flat stock into place from the side where the round stock exits the flat stock. Smooth
away any excess weld material so that the handle sits flush in its place.
Flat Stock
To make handles using flat stock, the Right Angle Bending Attachment (#7) is used rather than the Square
Stop Block (#3). Use a 10” (minimum) length of 3/4” wide x 1” thick hot-rolled flat stock.
Step 1) Set the Right Angle Bending Attachment (#7) into place as previously outlined.
