Artesania Plank Bender

The Artesania Plank Bender (HC-AL27024) is a straightforward, reliable tool for shaping wooden strips by making controlled incisions on the inside of the bend. Designed for quick, simple results, it helps model ship builders form smooth curves on small strip sections with confidence.

Uses in Ship Modelling

This plank bender works by creating fine cuts along the curve you wish to achieve. By adjusting the depth and spacing of the incisions, you can control the tightness of the bend, making it a basic yet essential tool for precise planking work.

Tips for Best Results

• Practise on leftover slats to refine your technique.
• Use light pressure—excess force can cut the strip instead of bending it.
• Moisten slats before bending to aid clean, consistent curves.
