very nice work tris63

I have a manual 3' mandrel bender in the workshop with 14 other tool sets of dies from 1' up to 3' old unit but a very good unit

may have to follow some of ur ideas on making a rotational device to make bends all the same and the longitudinal movement also oh bugger just the whole thing into a CNC machine mmmmmmm now u have created more work for me LOL

keep up the good work cheers

well.. i can do one for a lot less but it will be done intuitively with whatever parts available to make it as cheap as possible. i could build from a to z a machine that will fit your need for something aroud 3-4 grand... but i dont know, the delivery and payment could be a bit difficult to deal with since i live in canada and if theyres adjustment and mods to do, it will be almost impractical. but if you have an idea just shoot me a PM.
