Durston 1313-11 Piece Ring Shank Bender with Nylon Dies

Forming a ring shank by hand requires the same curve twice, and a dedicated bending station is what makes that repeatable. This Durston ring shank bending system brings matched steel and nylon dies together in a compact stand, giving the bench one place to form ring shanks and curved elements with consistent results. The dies seat positively in the jig, so each bend feels controlled and repeatable under hand pressure.

Features

• Space-saving vertical storage system holds the bending jig below and the die sets above for quick, organized access
• Top die tray swivels out of the way to open up the working area around the bender during setup and forming
• Matched forming and bed dies support the metal from both sides, helping produce accurate, repeatable bends
• Tool-steel dies are hardened and polished, with radiused edges intended to help reduce marking on the metal
• Nylon dies add further forming options and can help protect more delicate surfaces
• Bending jig and dies are precision made for smooth operation and reliable performance in daily shop use
• Bender mounts to a worktable with clamps or by bolting through the mounting holes

Notes

Each steel die includes a forming shape and a matching bed, designed to work together in the jig for accurate ring shank forming. For best results, mount the bender securely to a stable bench surface using suitable clamps or bolts. Mounting hardware is not included.
