Abstract

A device for bending metal stock which utilizes a conventional die blade in conjunction with a die block formed from two bent metal plates. The plates have lower vertical portions which are parallel and space-apart to form a slot into which the die blade is inserted to bend the metal stock. The upper portions of the plates are bent outwardly to a horizontal coplanar position, forming a platform upon which the stock rests before bending.
