Waist bending blanket for SPB bender, 120v, 165 watts
$90.77
Our specially made 1/16" hard rubber heating blankets are made to heat thin wood pieces, like guitar sides and bindings, to the 300+°F necessary to bend them to the desired shape. These blankets can reach 500°F in just a minute or two, therefore, they must be used with either a timer or temperature controller to keep the blanket and/or the wood from burning up. These devices are absolutely necessary for safety in your shop. Our LMI Temperature Controller (part #TC120 or TC220) and timer (part #DT) are highly recommended for use with these blankets and are required for us to honor a warranty.

Product Description
Our side bending blankets can be used a couple of ways to bend sides to shape. One way is to use a side bending blanket with a bending jig. Merely sandwich the unbent side, along with the heating blanket, between the two metal slats. The blanket can be used either under or on top of the side – find which way is best for you. Turn on (heat) the blanket for a few minutes and bend the side in the machine in the normal way. Some builders continue to heat – at below maximum heat – the side for a while after the side is clamped into shape, and then let it cool down slowly before removing it from the mold. The bending blanket can also be used with a simple inside mold. Place the blanket on the side mold and heat it for 5 minutes or so. Place the moistened side on the heated blanket and clamp the waist area down as it becomes pliable with the heat. After the waist is clamped into place in the waist of the mold push the sides down slowly around the upper and lower bouts. As the side bends around the mold's shape clamp it down with any clamps available until the entire side is shaped around the mold.
Caution:
These blankets can be dangerous if used incorrectly. Always make sure the blanket has something to transfer its heat
All heating blanket warranties are 6 months from the date of purchase.
Warranties will not be honored for heating blankets that are used without a controller.
This blanket is meant to be used on a 120v 60hz system like that in the USA.
