What have you looked at so far?
I like the JD3 never used one but if I had the money that's what I'd buy!

How much money do you have?

The very best one is like 10k.

You can get a pretty good one for $600

That Jd 2 and one set of dies is under 600$!!!!!! got me thinkin!!

what do most of you guys use as a bend radius 5.5" or 6.5"

im thinkin 1 3/4" tube with a 180 degree die and 5.5" radius. would be ideal for buildin yota cages.

EDIT: I just checked my bank account and my taxes were there. so in about a week i will be the new owner of a jd3 bender and 1 3/4" die 180* woohoo!

It cost 675.92 shipped to portland, OR

bender and die-no stand
