Traditional blade designs and modern oversized high MOI putters are equally easy (MA2012) to securely clamp, measure and bend. 1 Adjustable Brass Non- • Smooth sliding protractor quickly and accurately measures the loft and lie angles of all putters. Marring Bending Bar (BNMB) • Firm rubber, auto adjusting, soling pads help level the putter head and protect the sole against 1 Putter Hosel Bending Bar dents and scratching during bending. (GW1058) • Putter Hosel Bending Bar GW1058. 1 Allen Wrench • Can be bench mounted using the MA2013 bench mount stand. 4 Mounting bolts with nuts • Can be floor mounted using the MA2003AD heavy duty floor mount stand. *It is recommended that the The Maltby Putter Bending Machine (MA2012) was designed for the professional clubmaker. This Maltby Putter Bending machine needs no disassembly of parts or special attachments to safely clamp, bend and measure any Machine be mounted on right or left handed putter head. For the proper set up and operation, it is recommended the MA2012 either the Bench Top Stand Maltby Putter Bending Machine be mounted to either the Bench Mount (MA2013) or the Floor Mount (MA2013) or the Floor Stand (MA2003AD). Mount Stand (MA2003AD).

SET-UP The MA2012 can also be 1 2 3 mounted to the heavy duty floor stand (MA2003AD) that is designed to be mounted to a solid floor (see photo 3). (Bolts not included for mounting the stand to the floor. Consult your local hardware store for the correct anchor bolts for Edge of your particular floor type). Bench The base of the machine has four countersunk The MA2012 can be bench mounted The base of the machine has four holes that easily line up using the Benchtop mount (photo 1). If countersunk holes that easily line up with with the base holes. Four using the Benchtop mount, position the the base holes. Four flat head bolts with flat head bolts with nuts front the machine to the front of the nuts are included, along with an Allen are included, along with an Allen wrench, for easy work bench to give easy access to the wrench, for easy installation. top clamp knob (see photo 2). installation. Once the Maltby Putter Bending Machine is mounted securely to either the bench top stand or the floor stand, it is ready for use.
