Default Tubing bender in OKC OK.

I'm looking for an inexpensive tubing bender. I'm getting ready to start my cage. If someone has one that I could use I would be willing to pay for the use.

if you can afford it up front buy a jd2 bender, they are great. then if you want your money back build a tube bumper and sell it to someone

I would like to buy a JD2 but right now it's not in my budget. I'm looking for someone that has one here close to me that wouldnt mind renting thiers out long enough to build my cage. If needed I could bring the tube to thier location for the bends. If not, I will have to just hold off on finishing this project until I can afford a bender.

HF benders are PIPE benders. I have one and all it does is kink the tube.

Well, looks like I will have to save up and buy the die's and build my own (http://www.gottrikes.com/). This is the one I'm thinking about.

Seems like there are so many things working against me finishing this project. I found out last night that I have one month to vacate the shop I'm in since my boss has leased the building out. So I'm now looking for shop space or a storage big enough to work in. It's not easy on my budget though. This is the second time I've had to move since I started this. The first time was because it was in an EX girlfriends dads shop. When it ended between her and I well...., it ended the use of his shop to.

Oh well. might finish this thing befor 2014. lol
