Tube bender

[Rollcenter]

Im kicking around the idea of a bender. Now my idea is to make a connection to my log splitter to hold my dies so I have a 12 ton bender humm if it works might be worth it. Just got to drink enough beer so I get one of them there visions on how to go about it.

unless you plan to use the press style bending, not sure how that would work. You'd want more freedom of angle and range of motion around the bender than trying to mount a real tube bender to a log splitter would allow. In my mind anyway.

you could probably use the log slitter as a power unit for a cylinder on a protools or jd 2 or jmr.

I bought those plans from that trike outfit. Frank is a really nice guy, and offered to help in any way he could. I'm so busy collecting Blazer parts and working I haven't had time to thoroughly look through the plans. but it all looked like it would work to me.
