: Most useful bending dies are ???? Mieser 05-07-2002, 01:33 PM I am just getting into the bender thing with a JD4. What in your opinion are the best dies to have around. I figure that 180 degree dies are best to have, though what tube dia and centerline is used the most. I am thinking 1.5, 1.75, and 2.0. Should I get matching radius dies? Thanks for the help later :jeep: The Jerk 05-07-2002, 01:34 PM 2.5 is common for exhaust M.Martian 05-07-2002, 01:52 PM A friend of mine recommended getting the smaller radius dies because they are a little more versatile. I myself have a JD2 model 3 with a 1" 180* 3" radius and a 1.5" 180* 4.5" radius dies. 66CJdean 05-07-2002, 03:23 PM If you are going to run .120 min. then get a tight radious but if you want to bend .095 then you might have to get a larger radious. Size wise get the die you need most and then buy them as you go.
