looks cool to me, dont need to bend more then 90 degree. cheep and has hydrolic
pat

sorry i didnt put the right link up, use this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1738389546

If your talking about the second link you put uyp, the one with the buy it now for 850, that seems REALLY expensive!

Plus they even say that you can only bend up to 90 degrees. You can go 180 with a JD2 and it is not hard to bend with a good handle.

Plus, it is way cheaper!

Plus with that bender seems that your paying for 2 dies but the only one that is gonna do you any good is the 1.75.

I would say that is not a good deal.

i agree, the bender looks like its a true tube bender not like the HF kinker, but it only does 90* and at 850 you could get a JD2 and probably do a homemade hydro on it.

check this link out - JD2 Homebrew Hydo bender. I believe this is ROKTOY's setup.

JD Square bender is about 250.00 and about 600.00 in misc hydro stuff your sitting at 850.00 for a bad ass bender.

the bender on eBay comes with 4 dies ...

i looked at it seriously. major downfall is only 90 deg. bends people told me. still, think i'm gonna get a JD2 ... i asked about this same bender a few weeks back. a guy named foley gave some pretty compeling reasons against it and how he'd put an $89 air/hydro ram on his JD2 ... search for posts by foley in the gen 4x4 section ...

if it's anything like the model they chose to stand next to it i'd pass. :barf: :flipoff2:

Yep... that $850 gets you a bad ass bender - with no dies to bend with :p

Here are pics of my JD2 Model 3, sorry for taking so long morpheus, it was about $650 for everything as pictured, additional dies are available at jd2.com and they list prices, but they are about $250 apiece for 180 degree dies, and about 1/2 that for 90 degree dies.

The hinge is a 7/8" by 6" bolt with the threaded shank cut off, welded down to the table, with a scrap of 1.50 x .250 wall dom slid over it (it was handy), then the top of the bolt was gussetted with the 1/2" by 1 1/2" steel strap and plate.

I have made a little bit of stuff with it, and have absolutely no issues, it takes about 45 seconds to extend the ram off of my craftsman 6 hp 33 gal compressor (130 psi max), which nets me about 85 degrees of bend. I could have made that get me about 110 degrees of bend, but I was not sure if it would work with dies I bought in the future, so I made it have some "slack" in it.

BTW, this setup does not use any parts of either the JD2 manual or Hydro bending setup, just the bender rack and dies.
