My buddy is doing some cage and bumper work and asked me if I knew of a bender that is not powered that works worth a crap. I have one but I doesnt work very well but it was free. Anyone use one they would recomend?
i have the model 3, and it works awesome. i had about $650 including shipping and one die. i have the plans for the home built bender.. but in the end it was just easier to buy it and start bending.
jd2 is the way to go if you plan on just buying a bender, if you have the time to make one there is a great write up over at pirate4x4 on home built benders using the pro tools dies.
I've been running my Protools 105 for years, finally converted it to hydraulic a while back, but I used it as a manual bender for ages....great bender.
