    The only thing that you need to do to get 90 degree is to reposition the die on the upper hole and you will get 94 degree to accommodate for kicks back

      By the way, thanks for the comment, I meant to respond sooner. Yes! Ive done a couple of 90's on this since I recorded this video, but it didnt have to do with the position of the die... I just moved the tube in further. I'll have to look and see what you mean about moving the die. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Did you extend your jack adjustment screw? Generally if you extend it, it reduces slack and allows you to reach your 90 degrees.

      That's the number one suggestion I'm getting. I need to give it a try. Thanks for watching!

    Instead of repositioning the tube, just release the tension, back it up, then twist the screw jack out on the jack.

      Thanks! Others have suggested this I just haven't had the opportunity to try it. Definitely will though!

    to reduce snapback, heat it on the most stressed part with a yellow torch, let cool remove tube smile at your leet sauce work, crack a beer, hi five your dog, move on to notching and welding er in place hehe.

    Looks like you need a more stable stand that is zeroed in both directions. Make life a little easier. As far as the tube, I did the same thing you did. I made a 22 1/2 degree bend, a 45 and 90 degree.

      Yea, I plan to work out a better permanent fab table at some point, the little bench I used for this video is what I have for now. Thanks for watching!

    Nice content dude. It is weird, it looks like you have the latest bender model, it soposed to bend 90 at the fist time and 110 with the 2nd, this is a copy/paste from Affordable bender page: "Our all new design. Allows for up to 110 degree bends. Simply bend a 90, slip the tube through the die and bend up to an additional 20 degrees totaling 110 degrees of bend"

    • @SWBCrawler
      @SWBCrawler  4 года назад +1

      Yep, Ive seen the same from their site, but I had the jack fully extended, and it was less than 90, as noted in the video. I may write them and see if they have any suggestions. but in my experience, it gets about 82 degrees on the first pass.

      I have the same one and it will do a 90 but the trick is not to unclamp it but release the ram and screw up the jack some more. Then start jacking again. I have the same one and i have bent plenty of 90 in a drag car chassis.

    does the top of the bottle jack unscrew?? if so, bend as far as you can, then release it slightly, then unscrew the bottle jack to get the extra jack length to make a 90 degree bend. does that make sense? like this bottle jack in the link....

      I dont think so, but I'll have to go have a look at it to be sure. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Dear god that music in the beginning I had to shut the video off!!!

      Wow, ok. 40 seconds of intro music is too much for you? Im sorry to hear that. As music in a youtube video is concerned this one’s pretty mild.
