[TheForge] hossfeld benders

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

dan,

mostly just curious what people are using them for. i am doing some work for the guys at american benders in winona and may try to get a bender from them. it is the same as the hossfeld but cheaper.

thanks for your reply.

>Hey Bob,
>         I got a #2 Hossfeld a few years back for $100 (from a junk yard in the twin cities called Ambles...a gold mine).  I've spent about $800 on fittings and I use it all the time.  It's great for consistant repeated bends.  I can also bend 1/2 inch stock for a shepard's hook plant holder cold, evenly, and in under a minute.  It makes a lot of projects commercially viable that wouldn't be if I had to heat and bend them.
