OK got this when I got my bender and kinda having trouble figuring it out. I know there are some of you guys that are awesome with it is there any pointers or advice you could offer to help me out, I done the little exercise but other than that I'm kind lost so any help or advice would be appreciated
 
Re:

All the tutorials, as boring as they might be, are needed to go through.
Also, Cris and crew have worked hard on the video tutorials on YouTube.

Or you could just have Mo link up to your computer and draw the piece you need while you drink coffee like me.
 
I just read up on it and figured it out slowly. Plus it helps that i took classes for auto cad. So it was an easy transition. Here is a unimog exo cage that I designed.

Cage looks good and I've never dealt with any kind of software like this but with the info and help from u guy I should get it figured out
 
Re: Re: Bend Tech PRO

My biggest hurdle was over thinking. This is the buggy I was building

Bending up one cool piece of tube is the easy fun part. Bending the second piece to match it exactly... That's the bitch!
 
It's actually very easy to duplicate parts once you set your reference points, know your springback and rotation. Follow the instructions on the screen and your parts come out identical.
I don't even worry about leveling the bender. Digital level, Point of bend bracket and digital protractor is what i use. Also, with the wrapper notching feature I don't even use my notcher.
 
Paul I was actually gonna call u Billy reminded me you built your buggy on bend tech before ever bend the first tube said you were real good with it but thanks guys ima keep at it wanting to design my new cage or buggy hadn't decided which way I m gonna go yet but I'll get it I hope
 
I tried I might give ya a call tomorrow if that's ok and see if you could walk me thru it ive still got ur # unless its changed
