bender and cage ?
I know not a true fab but we need a tools section on here.
Ok so I'm looking to get a bender. I really like the JD2 Model 32, for the cost and reputation, also I know a few people with it so i can share dies. For the set up what is a good die for a cage. it will be a hybrid cage, internal down tubes but the main part of the cage witll be exo(i'm tall and don't want to bash my head on the cage) I know I'll need 180*s but don't know what radius or size to get.
Also with the pedestal I dont have a way of bolting it to the floor what are my other options?
If this is in the wrong place feel free to move it.
This is the style of cage I'm planing

I've got mine virtically mounted to a bench, it's easier to work with if you're powering it up............believe it or not, mines powered by a cordless drill.....
Tighter radiouses the better. (2 cents)

Here ya go......
I use a JMR geardrive to power it along with a cordless drill.......and one other secret weapon......if it's self driving, securing it is just a matter of conveniance.....I do prefer vertical bending though.
