Abstract
A bending machine is provided to form a multiplicity of predetermined types of bends within several planes in elongated, heavy gauge workpieces of various sizes and shapes by pressure between a stack of dies and a pair of swingable anvil plates carried by elongated wings each of which is, in turn, swingable to adjust the distance between the anvils. Slide rails for the workpiece are readily accessible for loading and unloading. The die stack includes releasable vise-like clamps which grip the workpiece to preclude distortion during bending, and the stack can be raised or lowered to provide proper alignment of preselected die units of the stack.
