Bend tech pro

[HELL BOUND]

Anyone have it ? What do you like about it ? What do you hate about it. Thinking about buying it and the plate program . Or is there something better?

I have it. Not much to hate, pretty straightforward and simple to use (I use it 90% of the time to build simple rock sliders, other 10% is for one-off bumpers or tube beds). I have no experience with the plate program. I'd definitely buy again

You can get it from the Irate parts store as well

I'd like to know more about the plate program if someone has it. I need something simple to do rectangle to round transitions, hoppers, and misc brackets.

i have bend tech and really like it. I went from Fusion 360 to bend tech and it wasn't too bad to learn. defiantly a method to making a cage though.

I've been running Pro for about 12 years now, love it. I spent a lot of time just playing with it, learning all the functions, when I first got it. I know I've saved enough in tube by now to have paid for it multiple times over. I have the plate program, but don't use it much, mostly because I don't do much plate work that really requires time on a puter to figure it out, mostly just cardboard CAD...
