Who has a jd32 bender and what dies are you willing to loan out?

wow, you can bend square tubing w/o kinking? Shoot dang, that opens up a whole lot of fantasies, er, I mean, possibilities.

 

[Dumpolina]

We’ll see. I assume it’ll do it as well as the Hossfeld I had. One of Justin’s posts earlier had a 180 bent 1” square tube which was exactly the profile that the hossfeld produced and what I expect this bender will do

I bought a JD Squared model 32 bender about 3 months ago. I never got it set up before I loaned it out. Asked about it yesterday and my bro didn't want to give it up yet. He went ahead and ordered another one. Should be on its way shortly.

I got the 1.75" die with a 6.5" CLR 180° and protractor to match.

1" square with 4.5"CLR 180° and protractor

Somebody wanna buy me a notcher now?

I got one of my protractors a couple weeks ago. New bender is supposed to be on the truck to be delivered today. Still waiting on both dies I ordered and one protractor to ship.

I got two very heavy small boxes woohoo haven’t had time to open yet

UPS wimped out on Wednesday and didn't deliver because of the snow. They waited until Thursday when it melted and became mud.

Only received the bender and no dies so I gave JD2 a call yesterday to find out when I would get my dies. Waited on hold for 15 minutes to talk to someone. Was told that dies would ship the end of next week. I asked if there was any way to speed up shipping and was put on hold for another 15 minutes. When the gal came back on the phone she apologized for the wait. She had been talking to her bosses who told her to refund 10% of my order and overnight my dies to me right away.

I have never had an experience like this with any company anywhere. I told her that the refund was unnecessary so she insisted on giving me 10% off my next order. This was the best customer service I have ever received. Going to get steel ordered next week. Can't wait to get started bending.

A little bit of snow sure scares the big brown truck drivers. Buncha citified sissies! My dies didn't show yesterday and probably won't be here today. The little gal who used to drive the truck wasn't scared of anything. The new dude is pretty worthless.

JD2's customer service is exacly why I went with them! Did yours get there? Assembled mine and now need material to tinker with. Still waiting on the square tube die but I'm not in a hurry

I got the die for doing round, but didn't get the square one either. I got all the parts cut for the base yesterday and will weld it together this morning.
