Budget tube notcher and bender????

[BadBloodRacing]

I'm looking at buying a tube bender and notcher. Anyone have a cloe where I might be able to get them on a budget? Been looking at the ones HF sells but not sure how good their made. Or, does anyone live in Ohio that might have one willing to rent out?

Any help would be apperciated.

Somewhere in this great internet there is a really good article about cutting properly notched tubing with just your chop saw...let me see...found it: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=456800

The HF ones are pipe benders, not tubing benders.

Eastwood has notcher for $70, not sure what your definition of "budget" is.
