Bender Questions

[OCNORB]

Yeah - a peice of 2"x 1" square tube works well- I bought one for mine ,but soon found it wasn;'t long enough to bend 2" DOM- 1.5" it was fine , but nothing bigger.

 

[Caleb]

yep 2"x1" is all you use...you will see when you look at mine...and deffinitely make your own base...you will laugh at what I paid $80 for...

 

[James K]

Yes build your own stand.

Bought a 10' piece of 1x2x.120wall for the handle. Cut it to 5' but is a touch short for 2" .120wall. 1.5 and 1" is just fine at that length.

The degree ring I think was a waste, but live and learn

$10 bucks a bend no labor to you or me....
damn friends are awesome.

Hey greg - if you need a handle for it I've got one you can have- only used it once before I found a ram for the bender.

I'd be glad to take it, but getting it may be a PITA. Aren't you in St George?

Greg, What die did you get?

I'm looking at the 1 3/4 but not sure on the 5.5, 6.5, or 7.5.

Input?

What about shipping charges?

Thanks,

I still have the 2" die and I think I'll keep it. I will soon be ordering a 1.5" die and eventually a 1".

Like Supergper said, the tighter the Radius the better.

No =- I'm in West Jordan. Pumpkinbronc is my brother- he's in St. George. I'd like to come down for UROC, but work is probably going to interfere.

I'm still going! Just alot of confusion!

 

[Skyetone]

so one how can the handle be to short? Do you blow a vain then you know it's to short?
Where's the first bent whatever greg?

 

[Skyetone]

just went to JD's website and the model3 is 266$ where did the rest of the money come from?> shipping?

 

[Skyetone]

so you have to buy the dies seperately? They don't even furnish one die?
-2070 M3B Round Tube Die Set - 2" (6.5-180) .095" $225.00

 

[Skyetone]

yes I'm haveing a day... so does this incude the ram? I thought the ram was another 250 or so....
-1012 Model 3 Bender Hydraulic Kit $85.00

 

[Caleb]

to answer your question:

how can the handle be too short? well there really is no too short or too long, its how easy you want to make it, the longer the easier...

the model 3 is $266 and that is for just the bender, no dies, no stand(which you can make yourself), nothing...the cost is pretty much shipping...

Bender $266
Die $225 (depending on which die(s) you get)
Shipping about $100 depending on what you get
Total now is $591

The hydraulic kit does not include the ram...it only includes an adapter to attatch the ram the the bender...again I am going to fab my own bracket...
