Pro Tips
- Anneal metal before bending to reduce springback and achieve cleaner curves, especially for thicker stock.
- For gauges above 3mm wire or 2mm strip, make two or three light passes rather than one heavy press.
- Use the 60-degree die to form V-shaped prong settings and chevron-style band rings.
- Apply a small drop of machine oil to the crank pivot every 20-30 uses for smooth operation.
- Store in a dry environment — wipe the wooden base with a dry cloth and avoid prolonged moisture exposure.
- Keep molds in the integrated base slots to prevent nylon surfaces from chipping between uses.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of the wooden base over a plastic base?
The wooden base provides greater weight (2.9kg) for better bench stability, integrated mold storage, and superior vibration dampening. It is best suited for permanent workshop setups. Choose the plastic base if you need portability.
Can I mount this permanently to my workbench?
Yes. The base includes pre-drilled screw holes for secure permanent mounting to any workbench surface.
What metal thickness can this tool handle?
Metal strips up to 2mm thick and wire up to 3mm diameter. Anneal the metal before bending for best results with thicker stock.
How do I care for the wooden base?
Keep the base dry and clean. Wipe with a dry cloth when needed. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct water contact.
Are the molds interchangeable with other Tooltos ring bending models?
Molds are designed specifically for the Tooltos IV model. Contact sales@tooltos.com to verify compatibility before purchasing additional molds.
What metals can this tool work with?
Gold, silver, copper, brass and other non-ferrous metal alloys. Not recommended for steel or titanium.
