About product

The DSPIAE AT-MPB small photo-etch bender

A bender is a jig that grips a photo-etched part exactly at the line of the bend and makes it possible to fold it into a sharp edge. Without one, thin sheet bends wherever it happens to be weakest, which as a rule is not where it should. This is the smaller of the manufacturer's two versions, designed for small parts that are awkward to load into a large bender.

The workmanship

According to the manufacturer it has twelve small bending teeth and one tooth on the short side, so the width of the bite can be chosen to suit the part. The clamping plate is supported by a spring and lifts away by itself once the knob is released, which when working one-handed means you do not have to hold the part and loosen the clamp at the same time.

How to work with it

  • Load the part so that the line of the bend lies exactly on the edge of a tooth.
  • Bend gradually and evenly along the whole length, not from one end.
  • Tighten the clamp but do not overtighten it; overpressed sheet thins at the bend and cracks.
  • Brass photo-etch can be annealed before bending; the edge then comes out cleaner.

Who it is for

The bender is for modelers working with photo-etch sets, especially with small parts such as latches, hinges, brackets, mounts and steps. For long parts running across the whole width of a model the large version is more suitable.

Try the bend on an offcut of the photo-etch fret left over once the parts have been removed. The material and the thickness are the same, so you find the clamping pressure you need without the risk of ruining the part itself. Photo-etched parts have very sharp edges, so be careful when working with them.

FAQ

In size and in the number of teeth. The small version is designed for small parts; the large one will take long pieces across the whole width of a model.

Once the knob is released the plate lifts away by itself, so you do not have to hold the part and loosen the clamp at the same time.

Most often because of an overtightened clamp. The grip is meant to hold the part, not to thin it.

By loading the part so that the line of the bend lies exactly on the edge of a tooth, and by bending evenly along the whole length.
