smo Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yes, Bend Tech Pro is very good providing you set it up properly like anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy_andy Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yes, Bend Tech Pro is very good providing you set it up properly like anything. Hi, Have a look round the OFN forum, plenty of guys on there using Bend Tech for their rock buggies etc. http://www.offroadfabnet.com/forums/index.php It's on my shopping list once I've got my head around Solid Works...... Cheers, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 We've been using it for a while now ans I love it, Chris at 2020 provide superb support, easy to use, easy to calibrate, easy to build tubular wierdness with its help - cant recommend it enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Another vote from me - it's fantastic! Parts of the UI are a bit clunky - but the calculations are spot on. If you go through the included tutorials - it all makes sense. I would go for the Pro version with 3D bending - very useful - particularly if you want to do something like a windscreen surround.
