Adjusting Setback
The setback is the distance from the forward edge of
the fingers to the edge of the clamp block (
Figure 9).
The setback distance is determined by the gauge of the
workpiece and the desired radius of the bend. Normally,
setback is adjusted at least 1
1
⁄
2
—2 times the thickness
of the workpiece. (Thicker or tempered workpieces will
need a larger setback. See material gauge capacities on
Page 2.)
To adjust the setback, do these steps:
1. Make sure all the fingers are aligned with each other
and that the fingers are not clamped to the clamp
block.
NOTICE
You must include the thickness of folded edges or
joints when determining the proper setback, or the
brake may be damaged.
