My work supervisor was helping clear scrap metal and the guy he was helping told him to scrap a "pipe bender".
My supervisor threw it into his truck.
He asked me today if anyone was looking for a pipe bender, I told him I would take a look at what he had. I offered $50, as I wasnt sure what brand, or model it even was, as there are no markings or logos on it. He wanted $100, so we met at $75 and done.
The 1 3/4" follower was still in a bag with a part number, which I googled when I got home.
So, its a Speedway model 3. The main frame is there and complete, as is the 1 3/4" die and follower. It has the 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" dies, but no followers. I called Speedway, and the two
missing followers are $40 a piece.
I have used a JD Squared before, but not this style bender.
Any good/bad with it? Sounds like its only rated to .110 wall according to their webpage (does that exist????) So unsure of .120 would work, or if I am stuck with .095 wall stuff.
Thanks guys.
