Latest tech article / review on tube bending - includes a first-ever attempt at video-tech.
This month's tech article and review is all about manual tube benders. It is an entry-level article designed for the first time or new bender. But old hands will still probably find the features of the JMR interesting - especially the three-speed system. If nothing else - y'all can have a damn good laugh at my awful on-camera presence (or lack thereof). Man - if you hate the sound of your own recorded voice (and who doesn't) - don't ever shoot a video featuring you - it's painful to watch!! Let me know what you think of the video approach - I don't know if I'll do it again, but I might. http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/B...Notcher/Bender/ |

Yea - the room issue is something to consider. With the recent weather, Laurie is already asking when she can park her car in the garage again! Garage??? I thought it was my tube bending area? And no, you can't park in my shop either! |

Very comprehensive Bill - one thing toss that short bar and get a nice long one, I put a 8 foot bar on mine and it made a huge difference for hand bending. I have a power pack on it now - even better.
