i.m heading to red deer theres a place there that sells tube benders, its jd squared model 3 anyone have one?.so for they seem to be highly thought of but if anyone out there has one what do you think of it? By the time I buy a die or 2 its probably about a thousand bucks, but I want to do my own rolls cages ,bumpers,. sliders etc Also what is the most usefull radius to get thinking of getting a 1.75 diameter and one other but i know radius is also imortant as it affects the tightness/size of the bend

I can,t believe it . nobody has one of these benders???? when I get it maybe I'll rent its use, it should be perfect for roll cages and bumpers etc

i'll be buying the JD Model 32 bender in september. they are good benders from what I heard and read. lots of fab guys use them.
-
is that the same as a model 3???? where you gonna get it from? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ? I know I'd like the hydraulic option but its expensive
-
I'm not real good with computer skills but just read up on the model 32 sounds good but too much money for what i need to do.

i'm getting it from KMS tools. the 32 model is the heavyduty model which will bend 2" x 0.25" wall DOM. The model 3 will bend anything most people need. and you can add hydraulic to the model 3 later down the road. the manual model 32 is $100 more, add hydraulics and they are $999. manual version is what i'll be picking up and getting the hydraulics later.
