Rotary Plank Bender/Strip Bender by Mantua 8150
If you are making a model boat or ship, you will find one of these plank benders really useful. Trying to bend the strips of wood correctly without one is tricky so why make life more difficult than it needs to be?
This tool will bend planks up to 3 mm thickness.
The tool has three wheels, two fixed at the sides and one adjustable on the centre, to adapt the grip to the thickness of the strip and to the curving radius. Under the base there is an adjustable screw to move the main wheel in respect of the other two. Start using the upper wheel and adjust the main wheel in a position to have the necessary grip to move the strip in both directions. The curve will increase a little each passage. To obtain a narrow curve, use the other wheels.
