Warthog Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Evening all, Managed to aquire a JD2 Model3 this weekend. However, it would would seem only imperial die sets are avail? Not a big problem, but i can source metric size tube easier (Cheap) So my question to anyone who has knowledge of these benders is, would: - 2" Dies sets tolerate 50mm (1.968") Dia tube, 32 thou smaller. - 1 1/2" Die set tolerate 40mm (1.574") Dia Tube, 74 thou Bigger. Cheers for any input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was gonna work out expensive, then this one came along Not exaclty what you were asking for, but we have a 1,75" die (44,5mm) Have tried it with 44,5 tube (CDS) 3,2mm thickness and the min diameter after bending was 95% of maximum (same as nominal) Also tried it with 42mm water pipe (blue) and min thicknes was 90% of max/nominal.
