A stirrup machine for bending metallic stock material such as bars, wire, strips and the like and forming individual bent pieces therefrom including: advancing and reversing and other suitable apparatus (1) for selectively advancing and reversing the feed of the stock material (2) and to retract the finished bent product; shear and guide apparatus (3) for the stock material (2); bending apparatus (4) having an interchangeable fixed central bending fork (7) to guide and support the stock material (2) and a bending pin (8) for bending the stock material (2) around the central fork (7) in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The invention is characterized in that the stock guide apparatus (5) is tranversally movable forward and backward to push the stock material (2) out of the bending plane, to disengage it from the bending apparatus (4) or to recall the stock material to re-engage it with the respective bending apparatus (4) and to shear it in connection with a countershear (6) after the stock material (2) has completed a stirrup.
