northernchris Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 At long last i have got what we needed for soooooooooooooooooooo long,this is the second machine in as many weeks The 1st machine by a differant manufacturer was to say the least was S~~T i spent 4 days traveling back and forward between here and sunny essex TRYING to sort the thing out!!!! The people who import this machine were about as usefull as wood saw in a steel factory. So after putting in excess of £300 worth of Clubman 500 and T45 through it at the weekend i admitted defeat,so off it went back to the fools that supplied it to me first thing monday morning. After frantic phone call to a few differant manufactures etc i came across the importers of "ercolina" benders.Within 5 mins of speaking to them they offered to come up with a machine the following day to "demo" it for me. Well it was the nuts ,it did exactly what it said on the tin and the service could not be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernchris Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 Nice.can it mandrell bend? and what bendradius on 1 3/4" tube? Daan Daan I have got 150 and 170 clr tooling,the bed to use the mandrell set up is order BUT the way it bends this current batch of Clubman 500 i dont think it needs it!!! Saying that with the bed you can bend off more than one plane very easy also by adding stops it MAKES EVERYTHING THAT MUCH MORE ACCURATE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
