Metalcraft Scroll Bender MK2/2H Former
Versatile Power: The Metalcraft Scroll Bender MK2/2H Former
Upgrade Your Metalworking Projects
Take your metalworking to the next level with the Metalcraft Scroll Bender MK2/2H Former. This robust tool is a larger, more powerful version of our popular entry-level MK1/2 bender. Perfect for creating substantial scrolls, the MK2/2H can handle larger hot rolled mild metal strips, making it ideal for more ambitious projects. The hand-drawn design allows for precise control, with the end of the steel bar gripped in the center and pulled around the inner segment to form the initial scroll. For larger scrolls, simply drop in the outer segment to extend the size.
Effortless Precision with the Starting Lever
Included with the MK2/2H is a special starting lever, designed to assist with the initial part of the scroll formation, especially when working with thicker steel. This feature ensures that larger materials can be shaped with ease, resulting in flat, consistent wrought iron scrolls every time. The MK2/2H Former requires no pre-heating of the metal, making it a user-friendly and efficient tool for all your metalworking needs.
Ideal for Consistent, Repeatable Scrolls
Consistency is key in metalworking, and the MK2/2H delivers just that. To produce identical scrolls, place the metal in the slot of the center pillar, draw it around the center segment, and mark the base where the metal leaves the segment. This method ensures repeatable results, whether you’re creating small or large scrolls. The MK2/2H Former is an excellent investment for both beginners and seasoned metalworkers looking to expand their capabilities.
Grip steel in center of scroll former and by hand, pull it around the inner fixed segment to make a smaller scroll. For larger sizes of steel, you may find the Starting Lever supplied, helpful in providing the extra effort required to ensure a nice tight initial bend to the scroll.
