Tube Bender weight??

[crazy_swede_73]

How much does a jd2, model 3 tube bender or similar weigh.
The reason i need to know is that i'm thinking of ordering one, and since i dont live in the US i need to know the approx shipping weight.

F'N big time heavy. I think the grand total of the bender, along with the 1.75 die that I have was right about 95 pounds. Of course, probably 60-70% of that weight is the die itself, but shipping ain't cheap on those period.

I just threw a couple items on the bathroom scale to help you out....


ProTools M105HD w/Mounting Base = 74 Lbs
ProTools 2" Die and Corresponding Block = 48 Lbs

I have the 1.5" and 1" dies, but didn't feel like weighing every part seperately.

If I were you, I'd build my own mounting base (it's just a piece of square tubing with a floor mount on one end and a simple plate for the arms on the other) and save the shipping costs on that....

this also allows you to mount the bender at a height of your choosing and with a floor mounting hardware arrangement you choose as well. Save yourself some $ in shipping and hardware and just make your own stand.

He sell's pro-tools stuff, but I KNOW he's shipped oversea's. His store does realtime shipping quotes, and may be able to do a quote for you there. If nothing else, it will get you in the ballpark. Don't know if the store does int'l quote's or not, but it's worth a shot

is it possible to disassemble the bender (and the die set ) so i can split it up in different boxes, just to be able to ship by boat.
USPS has a 44 lbs max on 4-6weeks shipping service.

It's a friend in New York thats going to order it for me and also do the shipping, or maybe me, ,,if i can find the time to visit him.

yes, the protools one comes in several pieces and the dies are, of course, seperate. Shouldn't be a problem getting individual boxes under the 44# limit, unless the die weighs that much, them suckers are heavy.

when i bought my pro tools, it cam it 3 seperate boxes, 1 for the bender, 1 for the die and 1 for the degree ring. IIRC the die alone weighed 43#, 1.5"x 5"x240* CLR. i know the ups guy wasn't too happy with me that day i can't immagine JD2 being much different for shipping.

 

[crazy_swede_73]

Great, then i guess i'll call my friend and order a Bender ASAP..

Thanks guys for all the info..

You might try locally for someone that does bending ? I have used a Hossfeild bender and know that canbe purchased without the hydurlics .Maybe you can get it locally ? i WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK !!!
