Electric Plank Bender - Hobby Zone GDL1

Electric tool for bending and shaping strips useful during the construction of wooden ship models.

The principle of operation is very simple, just soak the strip in warm water, then place it on a wooden block for profiling strips and use the heated tip to form the desired shape. The heated tip causes the water to evaporate immediately, making the element ready for use in the shape we have profiled.

The strip profiling block has two additional semicircular holes to allow strips to be formed into a "U" shape if necessary.

If we want to bend thick strips, it should be done gradually to avoid breaking the strip. To do this, gently bend the soaked strip and form with the tip, then soak again in water and profile to the desired shape. Voltage 220-240 V.

The entire set is packed in a practical wooden box for self-assembly, whose top lid serves as a holder for the tip. The packaging is intended for self-assembly.

The device can easily handle strips with a cross-section of, for example, 2x5 mm made of hard walnut wood.
