    tube benders

    The Model 3 is what I was referring to. It does not come with a die, you'll have to factor that into your cost model.

    tube benders

    The Pro Tools or JD2 will cost roughly $600 with a die set. The TubeTek will cost less than $400. Between those...I'd take the JD2. (I've owned both the TT and the JD2) (of course...I have a Baileigh now and could not be happier)

    TIG questions

    I have a TA185 and have been happy with it. The Diversion 165 would be my other choice, despite having less control over settings...for someone starting out...less to screw up.

    Tube bender

    About $800 once I bought the air/hydro ram from HF. You have to order the hydro setup vs the manual arm, and the degree wheel seperate. It's mounted on a spare engine stand I had sitting the garage.

    Finally got some real pics Better look at the hydraulics That "-0" is the starting point for every bend. It's so much nicer, to not have to assume "it's close enough" A 180 for an oar stand (whitewater raft frame) Here is the Tube Tek air/hydro setup

    Tube bender

    On the truck: In the garage after some creative unloading of the 600 lbs of beast. I won't get to use it until I get into the new space next weekend though. It was POURING down rain and the box took a beating with driving 30 miles on the highway. (didn't think about grabbing a tarp until...

    Those don't work for the Bailiegh's, only the Pro Tools/JD2 units.

    Tube bender

    I'm curious what everyone else has for one. I've had a JD2 Model 3 and a TubeTek air/hydro setup. I just ordered a Baileigh RDB-125. I needed something more accurate, faster, and more consistent. Should arrive next week.
