any one have 1" die for a Jd2 model 3

[KrazyKarl]

I'm going to be doing a small project for a friend that I need need a 1" die for. Anybody have one for a jd2 they would let me borrow for a day or two for a case or beer or a few pizzas or something?

I have a 3/4 and a 1.25. No 1" though....

Karl is a good dude, I can vouch for him. Somebody hook him up!

Just make your 1.25" into a 1", like Bucking Bronco did. (is that who it was?)

We have two different dies. You can borrow either.

The smaller one is 2-1/4" CLR but you have to use at least .120 wall tube or it will crush.

The larger one is 4-1/2" CLR

This is how you might convert one: https://www.rme4x4.com/threads/convert-bender-die-1-75-to-1-5.64205/

Yea I remember that thread. That is an awesome idea! I decided to get the notcher instead of the 1 1/4 due though when I got the bender. I wonder if I could use 1 1/2 .250 wall tube and try that to reduce it down. I potentially see there being a problem with the draw bar though with that big of a jump.

Yeah, I'd think that the follower wouldn't work well that far over size.

since Herzog is vouching for ya.

I have one, if the others fall through.
