tubing bender

[altereddoug]

Been playing around with the idea of getting a bender. Is it better to buy one or build one, like from gotrikes?? ave alot of cash if I build one but is it any good from this place? Anyone ???

If it were me I'd build it myself - I like doing millright work like that.

I've never heard of that company before but that dont mean nothing.
You might try doing a google search for some credentials or testominals.

I don't know about the one you're talking about, I have a Pro Tools, model 105. Very simple to use, and makes nice bends. Check it out.

I wound up with about 800 bucks in mine, if you're planning on bending chrome moly tubing much, I'd get the hydraulics, it's tuff shiite.

I was looking at this one. Seems pretty easy to make.
