This version takes the baseline MK3/4 (MC025) and includes an optional extra set of tube bending components. These components include a special guide pressure roller plus one small and one large tube former segment to provide the extra capability of a pipe bender in addition to being an amazing metal scroller.
Selecting the large or small former dictates the radius of the bend and this is positioned under and driven by, the main center segment with all the outer scroll forming segments detached. Please watch the video clip here for a demonstration of how this provides a truly universal scroll bender and tube bending machine.
