Thanks for the idea! I built the bender half of this last summer (2024). Was a quick and easy build. It works well bending 1 1/2" .120. I used bungee cords to assist retracting and used 3/4" threaded rod for the bolts. I plan on adding leveler feet and a permanent level mounted to the side upright. Cost about $240 in materials and hardware inc. the cylinder. Need a taller ceiling in the garage.😄
I like the name of your tooling bender. When I worked at a copper mine, my two friends I worked with would take some bodies name and add to like you did to Bendy-Benderson son. Example: Last name: Jones =Jonezy-Jonezyston. We linkthond everything, everybody, and every place we talked about this way just for fun and to relieve our boredom. Like = AZ-Arizonaston. Cloudy-Cloudyston. You get the drift. This went on for years. It became our comic relief. Nice idea on your Rolly-Rollerston, Bendy-Benderson. Great job on it too. Happy New Year!
It's good to see someone ready to actually make a horizontal tube bender work vertically! Requires less space and allows for mandrel usage. Thank You, JD
I'm currently building your design I love your bender I am going to put the beast tubing notcher where you put your roller, thanks for doing all the hard work of designing this thing. Thanks Kelly
I'd be interested to see how the stand holds up now that your putting 8 tons of force through the stand. All hydraulic benders put the force through the frame of the bender which is very stout.
This is interesting. I just bought a Swag off Road tubing bender and the same roller. I never considered them on the same cart. Just curious, since it's been a few years, have you found any limitations with the bender regarding angles or compound angles you've been limited on with the roller being there?
Love it! Made a motorcycle frame and several other components with it. I would like to upgrade the roller as it can't handle .120" wall tube. There are kits to beef it up and add power so that you don;t have to manually crank it. These are some of my life goals :)
Very nice!! Im going to be looking to do the same here soon. Ive been goin back and forth between jd2 and rogue fab but im leaning towards the jd2 again. Will def want to use it vertically so im glad youve got er working!
I have a JD2 Model 32 that I'm building a T-shaped stand, but I may change it, after seeing your design. Let me ask you, the Harbor Freight tubing roller, do you think it would do well on 1.75" HREW (1/8" wall) tubing? According to folks on a FB Tubing roller group, they say I will still need to buy 1.75 dies from Swag Offroad. Your thoughts?
Did you manage to make the spring return for it yet? I would make 2 brackets that go straight and bend down at a 45 to clear the ram. They would mate up to the two bolts at the end of the ram and the JB32 cranking arm. From there anywhere at the base to retain the return spring... problem solved
If I am visualizing your idea correctly, it sounds great. I have yet to do anything about return springs. I am just manually pushing it down, which has been tolerable with my lower frequency of use. If I used it daily or weekly, I would want a spring, or maybe I would just build some serious muscles! 💪😀💪
@@HooptieDoodle I posted earlier about using bungees. I used a pair of tabs off the upper ram cross bolt. I made 4 "U" shapes from 1/4 rod and welded two next to the lower ram pivot and two at the other end of the base. Ran bungees from the cross bolt tab thru quick links on the ram end "U"'s then horizontally to the other two "U" s. i think I used 3/8" x 24"(?) careful not to over do it, just assist.
Not sure how much air that cylinder uses to operate but you could probably fit a small compressor underneath and then it would be an all in one mobile unit. Just a thought. Might not have enough air to make it worth while though. 🤷♂️
I had a similar thought when I made my plasma cutting cart. Then when I went to use it I learned why everyone gets the biggest air compressor they can 😀 ruclips.net/video/PMiBJQ4UghI/видео.html
HooptieDoodle Lol I figured it would use a lot of air. I’m hoping to get a big shop compressor soon. I love your build! Would be nice to have it vertical like you have it for space saving and also now you can use digital angle finders. Assuming that sucker is level when you bend your tubing. 👊
I'm using a Husky 30 gallon 155 psi, which I don't think they sell anymore. It works good for what I'm doing, but 30 gallons doesn't last long and the compressor is loud, but it does get the job done. Everyone always says get the biggest air compressor you can and I would agree.
@@HooptieDoodle ok don’t laugh at me because I don’t know anything about air compressors but do you have to take your compressor somewhere to get it filled?
@@williamgarcia9751 that is kinda funny, but no, it fills itself with air. You've got your tank that holds the air and then the compressor (which has pistons like an engine that force air into the tank), and the compressor is run by an electric motor attached to the compressor via a belt. All these components make up what is called the 'air compressor' . You do need to ensure the compressor has oil and change the oil out once in a while (kinda like a car engine. Kinda). Then you have a valve to allow air out of the tank and a regulator to dial in the pounds per square inch (psi) of air flowing out. Then most people add filters and water traps after that as well - which is important for certain applications - especially painting for otherwise you can add contaminants to the paint 😔.
@@HooptieDoodle lmao thank you so much man. Does it take a while for it to refill? I was thinking about getting a 8gal compressor because I’m strictly a hobby bender. I like building crosskarts. Will that be enough?
@@williamgarcia9751 the 30 gal I have runs a LOT while I am bending, but not constantly and never runs out of pressure, so the compressor gets a break. I would recommend 30 gal or more. I am no expert, so take it with a grain of salt. If you go too small you'll run completely out of air pressure mid bend and have to wait for pressure to build back up - it's not conducive to productivity.
hello my new internet friend.lul. badass bendy mcbender build my bodacious bud. have a pivot link set up above the ram in the ram gap to your arm, for you know, springage.
Creo q uno se sopla el vídeo ..para nada..xq muestra solo la dobles del tubo más fácil y simple q existe...luego muestra los tubos de la motocicleta pero no el como sirve eso para poder doblarlo..más de loq adorna..la máquina con accesorios q nunca mostró su utilidad ..

Great minds think alike 😀👍

I love the space efficiency 👍👍

Sir, that was great! Liked the details given and as always, really enjoyed your relaxed attitude toward your build.
Thankyou.
This one I'm adding to my shop tools to build.Good job!!
I would love blue prints or measurements for this. Your work is guiding me on a current project.

First video of yours ive watched, looking good.
Awesome Build man!🤘

what the power for hydraulic clynder is it only air pressure or somthink else ? thank you

I really like the vertical - good luck with yours 👍
Crazy how you think of things to build loving the vids
Thanks 👍👍
What Guage steel is the 2x2 square tubing? Thanks!
11 ga, or 0.120 wall
Nice job looks great.
Where did you find the 3/4 bolts?
Linked in description
you have any plans/ drawings for this stand? wow its sick.
Here's a video with extra measurements of the cart ruclips.net/video/QcGEaKBBi1g/видео.html

When the sound track suits 2x viewing speed ❤
changing dies in the vertical position is hard .
Maybe you need a pistons that goes both ways ?
What air compressor were you using to move the ram?

that is cool just like ou said i like it. i think i'll make one too ii need one
I want one
Do you any drawings of you build? I too build motorcycles and want to build frames. The old saying want it done right do it yourself LOL
No drawings, but there is this video with more measurements ruclips.net/video/QcGEaKBBi1g/видео.html
Good..🇮🇩🇲🇨
Nice bit of fabrication ,,tidy solution
Leave the loud effects/so calld music out of your videos for lots better videos
Creo q uno se sopla el vídeo ..para nada..xq muestra solo la dobles del tubo más fácil y simple q existe...luego muestra los tubos de la motocicleta pero no el como sirve eso para poder doblarlo..más de loq adorna..la máquina con accesorios q nunca mostró su utilidad ..

waste of time buy a model 54 from jd2
painful to watch.....ugh....
