The KATSU Tools UB-100 Universal Manual Metal Bender (165193) is a heavy-duty, bench-mounted forming machine engineered for precise cold and hot bending of structural steel profiles in metalworking workshops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance shops. Built with a robust steel body and an extended 700mm operating handle, this bender provides immense mechanical leverage to execute clean, accurate bends up to 120° with minimal operator effort.
Equipped with a 6-position adjustable stop system and a material repeat stop, it ensures maximum precision for production runs and repetitive fabrication tasks. Supplied with a selection of interchangeable forming die plates, it bends flat bar, square bar, round bar, and angle steel to various radii. Its wide, sturdy base bolts securely to any workbench, offering exceptional stability, safety, and performance for custom metalwork.
Hot & Cold Dual-Bending Capability: Engineered to bend structural steel profiles cold or after controlled heating for thicker sections.
Versatile Profile Bending: Accurately forms flat steel, square steel, round steel, and angle iron with exceptional consistency.
0–120° Bending Range: Delivers smooth, controlled bends through angles up to 120° for brackets, frames, gates, and custom fabrications.
6-Position Adjustable Stop System: Integrated 6-stop system and material limit stop enable rapid, highly repeatable batch production bends.
700mm Long Operating Lever: Extended 700mm handle provides high mechanical leverage, making heavy bending tasks smooth and effortless.
Interchangeable Die Plates: Includes multiple forming die plates to accommodate alternate fillet radii and section sizes.
Bench-Mounted Stability: Heavy-duty base with pre-drilled mounting holes ensures secure fixing to workbenches for safe operation.

| Recommended Usage | Metal Fabrication, Structural Steelwork, Gates & Maintenance |
Gates, Railings & Architectural Metalwork: Bending decorative scrolls, frame brackets, fence pickets, and structural handrails.
Structural & Equipment Fabrication: Shaping angle iron frames, support brackets, machinery mounts, and agricultural equipment parts.
Automotive & Restoration Projects: Forming custom chassis brackets, exhaust hangers, bumper guards, and heavy-duty structural braces.
Bench Mounting Security: Bolt the machine body securely to a heavy-duty, solid wooden or steel workbench before applying high bending leverage.
Cold vs. Warm Capacity Compliance: Strictly follow the section limits for cold bending versus warm bending to prevent machine strain or material fracture.
Lubrication & Cleaning: Periodically apply heavy-duty grease to the pivot pin, adjustment screws, and die contact faces to maintain smooth lever motion.
