WIPERS

Inserted and Solid-Body Wiper Dies with Components for Rotary-Draw Tube Bending

We also manufacture traditional “aircraft-quality” square-back solid-body wiper dies plus we have a resharpening service for these tools (including those made by our competitors). Square-back solid-body wiper dies are excellent for high-pressure tube-bending jobs that require the wiper to be set at zero-rake. However, they are relatively costly to purchase and then recondition as they wear.

Whether inserted or solid, all of our wipers have a fully machined feathered edge. Unlike our competitors, there is no manual honing or sanding of the feathered edge. Bend Tooling precision machines this essential attribute of the wiper die. Do not settle for less.

Our wiper tooling line features the following:

• Standard inserted and solid wipers available for round tubing; solid-body “flat” wipers for square and rectangular tubing.
• Standard tooling available for tube diameters from .875″ to 5″ (22mm to 125mm).
• Precision machined feathered edge.
• Simple-sweep feathered edge geometry for most jobs and off-set “aero” geometry for stainless, titanium, and other high-pressure tube-bending.
• Dozens of standard mounting patterns (both inch and metric) are available at no extra cost.
• Square-back alloy steel holders standard for inserted wipers.
• Wiper inserts available in aluminum-bronze, hard-chromed, and leaded steel.
• Inserts attach to the holders through the bore for easier replacement on the machine.
• Sold as complete assemblies and individual replacement wiper inserts.
• Wiper insert mounting screws available separately.
