Cascade Came Bender for Zinc/Copper/Brass Came
This listing is for a
BRAND NEW
Cascade came bender for bending curves in any hard metal framing for stained glass projects.  It will work on zinc, brass, or copper, and will work with round H, flat H, or U came, so you can use it for any interior or border curves.  Small 1/8 or 5/32 U zinc doesn't require a came bender, as it can be easily bent by hand.  Hard metal cames are great for adding stability and strength to any stained glass project, but when you encounter curves on a round, oval, or irregularly shaped piece, it can be impossible to create a smooth curve without kinking or rippling.  To use, turn the handle on the side to create enough space between the top pair of rollers and the bottom roller to allow the came to fit into the appropriate groove on the top rollers.  Then, turn the handle on the side to tighten the bottom roller against the came, putting a slight bend in it.  Then, take the top handle, and turn it to run the length of came through the rollers, putting a uniform curve in it.  Tighten the side handle a little more, and repeat as necessary to get the appropriate curvature.  If you have a tight curve to create, do it in several smaller steps, to allow the smoothest curve.  If framing an oval or circle, we find it easier to do it in two pieces, instead of trying to match up a single piece of came.
Although designed specifically to work with Cascade came, we have had success using it on other brands and various sizes of came.  Its rugged all-metal construction assures that this great tool will be around for many years, and features milled metal rollers for strength and accuracy. Designed to be mounted on your work bench, it can also be mounted on a separate piece of wood that allows it to be portable and removable.  See pictures below for detailed shots of the bender, and also a project constructed using this tool.  Other stained glass retailers sell this exact came bender for big bucks.  We maintain low overhead and buy in volume, so we can pass the savings along to you. Although this won't be a tool you will use every day, it will be indispensable when needed!
This project has a 3/8" U zinc frame that was bent using our studio Cascade came bender!
