thanks.color me impressed
we have a cnc mandrel bender in our shop that we use for 2.5'' and 3'' .065'' wall 304 tubing
you pretty much built our bought machine for 3% of our cost
we need to make a cnc 3/8'' hanger rod bender, so i've been reading some of the out of the box bender builds
i've pretty much figured out the bender, cutting the rod is my achilles heal right now
great project!
I'm sure it's been covered somewhere in the build thread, but what makes the bender retract? A clock-spring?added some oil to it, had covers out so it took some vid how the chain moves in there.
