[QUOTE="Naughty_Finger, post: 355777, member: 8026"] I put in an order with SWAG today ( love their stuff ). I have the hydraulic ram adapter for my tube bender as well as the gen 4 base for my porta bansaw. I have the Milwaukee base for it but it made it into a chop saw which is fine unless you want to cut anything other than 90 degree angles. Next up is a tube roller. I love that HULK roller.. when all is said and done it's $350 more ( approx ) than getting the HF roller and buying the swag components. Money is unfortunately and issue with a baby due here in the next week or so. I sourced out a 205 for my doubler yesterday as well.. It was a good day. I posted on our club facebook looking for a chevy or dodge 205 and within 10 minutes I had a message and a 205. I am torn however on which doubler to get. I am between ORD and NWF. The NWF will allow me to run the 205 I have without machining the case for the larger bearing. Does anyone have any experience running the NWF doubler kit and how big of a deal is it not upgrading to the larger bearing? For anyone living in Minnesota, My neighbor works for a steel company that MAKES steel tubing and sells it steel distributors. I get an amazing price ( can't name one because it fluctuates constantly ) but the down side is I have to buy a lot of it. Like 20 22 foot sticks.
