are you making your dies or buying them?

make sure to buy washers and shim stock to take up the slop in the die area. Not enough people stabilize the die when setting up their benders. Also look at the tube clamp method. We posted a better clamp style and it allows close bends. all in all you are building it yourself and that is awesome.

Thanks mate
Yeh I'll shim it all up I'm just trying to find a 2nd hand die , (really hard in aus) I'll look into your design on the clamp .
Come the new year I'll just bite the bullet and buy new dies as I have a chopped up xs650 that needs a hardtail on my home built frame jig

Hello,
Let me start by saying I'm a newbie here and yes, I know this thread is a couple years old, but I really like the design of this bender (I'm assuming it is a JD2 clone) and I was wondering where on the main site (as indicated in the opening post) it was located. I found the plans for the CBH Bend-o-matic but I am looking for something with the flexibility that I can use to make some handlebars as well as a frame and this bender looks like it is just the ticket.
If anyone has the plans for this bender or knows where they are posted I would really appreciate it if they could post them or send them to me or point out where they are.
Thanks very much in advance, I'd also like to mention that this a great site with tons of great info (sounds like I'm just sucking up but really it's the truth.)
Thanks
Mark
