...only after placing it is 8" (200 mm). If the bending length is not long enough, the rebar can break into pieces and deflects during bending. Install the deflection guard to the VB16Y for operation with a #5(5/8") diameter. ⅜ Remember that there are more than 20" to prevent... that is to be caught in the mechanical parts. ⅜ Install the deflection guard for operation with the bending length of a rebar 20" (inside dimension of the deflection guard) or less to protect the persons around the rebar cutter/bender in case a rebar splinters into pieces and deflects during bending.
