Abstract: Disclosed is a machine for bending rod-shaped material in two directions, comprising a rotable plate (5), fitted with a centrally positioned mandrel (12) and an eccentrically positioned bending tool (13), and a fixed, adjustable holder (15; 17). The plate is mounted coaxial to a housing (1) which is in turn mounted to rotate in a fixed support about an axis (X--X) (4). The plate can be turned by means of a rotary drive (18) mounted on the housing. The holder is positioned eccentrically on the housing and can be brought by means of the rotary drive (18) up against the material to be bent.
