Saw this tube bender on e-bay for $650...It includes 4 dies... http://www.toolsplus1.com/eztube.htm

Considering it comes with the dies, it might be an option...Has anyone had experience with this bender?

Here's the e-bay item:

For $650 it comes with the ram and follow bar...Sure is tempting.

Yea I too have been looking on eBay for a bender! It seems high to me but I don't know much about them. Try this addy for another one. http://www.medfordtools.com/mb3.html

Cool...But that's approx. the same price as the JD2 less degree ring...The one on e-bay comes with hydro and 4 dies (1", 1 1/2", 1.5" and 2")...And these dies are listed as "unbreakable" :rolleyes: Whatever...I still think it's the best price by far...It's really a question of quality...Maybe I'll give-um a call and find out:rasta:

it looks to me like this setup requires a hydralic pump setup, as where a pro tools or JD-2 you can get into without buying that. Also it only has 90* dies, I think thats pretty lame

Hey rockrover. I think if you look closely at the pictures of the bent tubing in your link, you can answer your own question. Looks like some unconsistant bends to me. I can imagine what the back side of the tubing that contacts the 2 rollers looks like :rolleyes:.
It looks just like pipe bender from harbor freight for $50.
