What is this?

[Ut84089]

Anyone have an idea as to what this and the age? I was told it was used to bend metal rod. I’ve been trying to research it and see if I can get it functioning.  It has a D.O. James gearbox and a Westinghouse motor.

Update:  I talked to an old metalworker and he said it was a scroll bender.  Still looking for info if anyone has any.

Ask questions if you still can't figure it out.

It is probably too large.  Try resizing it in Paint and saving as a smaller file.

Thanks , it was a file size issue.  Thanks for taking a look!

Yup, looks like a bender. Probably for flat bar by the looks of the dies.
