Model 3 bender

[rookieshooter]

Just might be of interest to some DIYselfers. Northern tools list a new product they're carring. A Model 3 bender for $299. They also list dies and they cost as much as the bender. Then I assume you would need a stand also?

I assume this is the one you are talking about?

yes you need a stand but you can build your own. You can mount it vertical or horizontal. You can bend manual hydro or air over hydro. It is similar to the JD2 model 3 and the protools 105. Not sure which dies fit the woodward fab model.

You could build a stand cheaper than what they charge then add shipping on top of that.
I bought a knockoff JD2 model 3 several years ago and it didn't last long, RockRanger got more use out of it than I did:
I recently bought a real JD2 model 3 with free shipping, couldn't pass that deal up.

I looked at the pic in the new mag. and it says "JD Squared" on it. This is the good model I think?
Never mind... I checked it out at their site and no longer available.
