Sure, why not.

There is no follower die, I just used the normal 7/8" pin and let the square tube rest against it.

Thank you! I might not use it, I'm between this and just buying the Rogue Fab

No problems,

Has anybody bent square tubing on this ?
Jim

Square tube is all that I can make at my shop, No mill to cut out the center section, they all worked good for that, thanks KH

Ilean,
I noticed on your bender you have 2 springs is that needed or will one work?
Thanks,
Jim

One will work fine. I went with too light of a spring originally, so I had to double them up.

Ilean,
Sorry to bug you some much but are these holes close on your file or did I screw up when I copied it.
The holes are about an 1/8" away from each other.Will it matter?
Thanks,
Jim

I can't see your file...but there are some holes that are pretty close to each other for sure. That's how they are on the JD2 drawing I started with.

If you already have a PT105, you can just bolt the existing bender into the lower/base part to make it into a vertical bender, if you want to do that. I have done that a couple times, so I can post that file if you want to that direction.

Sure thanks, Are the pin holes in a different location?

Sorry, missed this! What I meant was just the brackets to mount the existing Pro Tools bender vertically. This is the file I've used a couple times to do that.

Hello, I cut this file out over 5 Years ago for a friend that passed away and got back the vertical uprights. He wasn't able to finish it. I wanna finish it but no longer have the word doc that has the dimensions for the base.

Can anyone share the lengths of of the 3x3 tubing?

Thanks, I finally got my plasma cutter back online after moving and getting back into into things.

Not sure if this is what you need, thanks KH

I'm not a member atm so I don't open that. If I remember correctly it was 2 pcs at 18" and 2 at 24" but wanna make sure before I cut my tubing. I know it doesn't have to be exact I just want to know because you it's what obviously works

[mav68erick]

Double posted.

[tjenus]

Tubing for base: 3x3 square; Two 12” lengths, two 24” lengths.

Has anyone made one of the square dies yet ? The dxf file doesn't seem to have the center of the die needed to dent the tubing .

[redheadfred]

Figured it out .... Thanks

There something I’m missing

[I Lean]

I don't know why you can't download the files, but I do think it's awesome this thread is still trickling along after 5 years.

Can this be used with model 3 dies that's all I can get

[I Lean]

Yes, it's designed for use with Model 3 die sets.
