any got contacts/recomendations company wise for a cage tube bender!! am looking for the pull thro hand lever type NOT the crap clarke/machine mart/cross bow type. any help much appreciated
It's called a draw bender. They're horrifically expensive. I want one.... Baileigh, RMD, Rotary, Dra,w Benders, Pipe, and, Tube, Benders, JWK, Machinery, Sales, Co
If you are game to make the cage once you have the bender, then you should have the ability to make your own. I did, works a treat!
and after you've made the cage you can open up a small business making custom exhausts with your little machine.
got any pics of it, sounds like a good idea. might have a crack at it my self as need a front end of a cage
Sorry for the late reply, busy at work. Hardest part is getting the dies made to the diameter and centre line radius you require: But once you have them, its just a really simple frame, think "pair of scissors" with massive leverage: Just make sure that you use thick enough steel and that you contain all the force within the jig. I learned the hard way that trying to bend 40mm CDS 3mm wall, even with loads of leverage, was impossible to do whilst holding the bench still A quick change soon made it hydraulic though: Pikey yes, but very cheap (<£100) and produces excellent bends:
