Tube bender (1 Viewer)

I am thinking of getting a tube bender. I am looking for opinions on the Pro Bender 105HD. Anything I should know? Good, bad or indifferent?

Love the Hossfeld #2 that I have set up with hydraulics.


Good luck!

I would buy a manual one. There is some great info on Pirate how to buy an air/hydro cylinder for it to turn it into pneumatic for like $100.

Let me know when you get one Brad, I sure could use some sliders and a brush guard.

No problem, you can be the guinea pig.

Sounds good to me

I am about ready to order my bender. I am only going with one die right now. What would be the best size for cages, sliders, and the such? I am leaning toward 1.75, but the 1.5 is also very appealing.

What do you think?

 

[Poser]

Get them both, and then wish you had picked up the 2.00, 1.25, and 1.00 also...

Have fun!

I was afraid someone would say that. :-\

I just saw this add that may be good for someone near SF. Not for me and I don't know anything about it, but it seems like used benders are tough to find so thought I'd post it for you left coasters.

The email contact is jgwinner@padprint.com

Here's a copy paste of his add (sorry, I know this is outfitting, but I have no affiliation and this is in reply to a topic in bending).
