Description
Specialist modeling machine designed to work with photo-etched and aluminum elements. The total length of the tool is 300 mm, with its own weight of 1050 g. Galvanized steel with high mechanical strength was used for its production. The lower part of the tool, i.e. its working area, was very solidly made, and on the bottom it also received a special non-slip pad on its entire surface, additionally stabilizing the folding machine on the worktop. On the other hand, the upper part, intended for pressing the photo-etched elements against the working field, has been dyed black and has a total of 13 protrusions (“teeth”) of different widths. It is worth adding that their length (depth) compared to the products 13cm long Photo Etch Tool or18cm long Photo Etch tool is bigger. Both parts of the bending machine are connected with each other with 2 bolts (bolts) and 4 screws with plastic caps, but equipped with springs. The latter solution significantly facilitates precise adjustment of the height of lifting the upper part of the tool and adjusting it to the formed element. It is worth adding that the part with protrusions (“teeth”) can be removed from the tool and put on the working field with its other side. In this way, you can easily create a uniform, straight edge that makes it much easier to work with longer photo-etched parts. Of course, the presented tool allows for both single and multi-stage bending of such elements. Undoubtedly, it will significantly speed up and facilitate work with them – also of considerable size! It should be added that together with the folding machine there is a special blade in the package, resembling a razor blade, which is used to bend elements. A model knife with a thin blade or precision tweezers will also work in the same role. The presented bending machine will turn out to be a very useful tool in the workshop of every modeller who enhances his miniatures with photo-etched or aluminum elements. It will prove useful especially when working with models of, for example: airplanes in 1:24 and 1:32 scale, combat vehicles in 1:16, 1:32 and 1:35 scale or ships in 1:72, 1: 200 and 1 scale : 350, but also when working with figures in scales 1:10, 1:16 and 1:35 and with a size of 120 mm.

An expensive purchase, but worth it. The tool is very solid and easy to use. I needed a longer bending tool to deal with large photo etch bends required for building a 1/72 scale Flower Class Corvette using the David J. Parkin Great Little Ships photo etch sets. The tool works superbly. It can also be used for smaller bends given the variety of bending fingers opposite the long side, though the weight and size of the tool may be challenging if your work bench is not very big. Based on this tool, I would buy a smaller RP bending tool for sure.
