For those of you who followed my Gottrikes monster bender build on the old forum, I'll be posting some build pics plus an update to detail the conversion to air/hydraulic.
I will also be building a modified version soon.......

I haven't done any tech drawings for this but it isn't too difficult to work out. Having said that, I've had several emails via Frank the designer of the bender, from other builders around the world who want to know where I bought the diamind die...none of them believe him when he says a girl made it...then they email me and ask very politley for the specs.........
Anyhow, here's some

The dies for the Gottrikes bender are ProTools which are slightly different but I'm told the JD2 dies will fit - I think the difference is in the width of the centre boss....

Hi Maz, great work!
A question about the die. What is the profile of your die? Looks like it is a V formation, or is it concave like the jd2 die?
