[TheForge] JD squared benders

[Jay Hayes]

John,

I have a Hossfeld and have some dies from JD Squared. Their dies are far
superior to the Hossfeld. I would go for the JD Squared bender, only a
larger model and definitely with hydraulics. I have hydraulics on my
Hossfeld and wouldn't want to be without it. It has paid for it self a
hundred times over.
