About product

The 3Detail special photo-etch bending tool

A bending tool is a workshop jig in which a photo-etched part is clamped between two jaws so that only the section to be bent projects from them. The bend is then made along a precise edge, so a straight line is produced with no rippling and no tweezer marks. The designation special places this item among the better-equipped versions in the manufacturer's range, above the basic bending tool.

How to work with it

First cut the part from the fret and sand the remains of the tab so that it sits flat. Put it under the jaw, line it up against the marked groove or edge and tighten the jaw down. Make the bend smoothly and in one movement, not in stages, or steps will appear on the part. Brass that resists or cracks as it bends can be helped by annealing it briefly over a flame and letting it cool; the material then stays soft and workable. Bending to a sharp right angle works better when the part has a groove etched on the inner side.

Who the tools are for

  • modelers who regularly build with photo-etched sets of interiors, grilles or fenders
  • ship builders, where a great many railings and ladders have to be bent
  • those who want repeatably identical bends on series of small parts
  • advanced modelers for whom bending between two razor blades is no longer enough

The tool works with thin metal parts and has sharp edges. Keep out of the reach of children. For the particular dimensions and material, follow the data given by the manufacturer on the packaging.

FAQ

It clamps a photo-etched part between jaws and lets you bend it along a precise edge. The result is a straight bend along the whole length, which will not come about by hand with fingers or tweezers.

Ordinary modeling photo-etch in brass and stainless steel is thin and the bending tool handles it. With harder materials, annealing the part briefly before bending will help.

The special version is a higher line from the same manufacturer. The particular dimensions and equipment of both versions are given by the manufacturer on the packaging.
