UPS brought me a present today

mmmmmm bender :redneck:

I whipped up a stand out of a hitch receiver and some 2x2 tube and welded it to the side of my trailer for mobility. Should be a pretty solid mount. I can always hook the trailer up to a truck or something if it moves around too much when I'm bending the tooob.:awesomework:

Sweeeet !!

That JD2 is top quality. Don't forget to butter up you tubing with WD-40 prior to bending: that tube looks a little dry...

 

[crazybluerider1]

I'm not actually bending that tube. I was just making sure everything fit right. My order of 1.75x.120 won't be in until monday, then I get to start bending up a cage. Thanks for the tip on the lube:awesomework:

To the people that are using JD2's. How long are your handles?

 

[TigTorch]

Mine came with I think a 4 foot handle. Most of my work has been with 3/4 to 1" steel and aluminum. I made a short handle about 24" and it has more that enough leverage for that small size tube.

 

[GRNTACO]

My handle is about 5' and it works great with the extra leverage.

[Dieselbreath]

How much $$$?? And who did you get it thru?

Thanks

 

[crazybluerider1]

I got from http://www.medfordtools.com/ I think it was right at 600 with the 1.75 die shipped.

I have bent up most of my cage and my stinger and have been very happy with how it works with a 5 foot lever.

My handle is about 3" long and under a bench somewhere I think. If you plan on doing any amount of tube it's all about the hydraulics :awesomework:

 

[no excuses]

air over hydro :awesomework:


go down to harbor frieght and pic up a cherry picker long travel air over hydro cylinder for under a hunskie and it will make life good :cheer: . You will have to bend vert. but that is a good thing ..
