[TheForge] HF & SO benders - revisited

[Dave Brown]

I just received an answer from Shop Outfitters regarding their die 
dimensions and type of steel.  While the didn't specify the exact grade of 
steel, they did say that they were hardened steel.  The pins and the 
mounting holes in the dies are 5/8" and the dies are 2" tall.

These dimensions match those of the HF Compact bender.  So for those of you 
who might be looking for tubing dies, replacement dies and/or pins for your 
HF benders, the SO dies should fit. However, SO says you should let them 
know which bender that you have and they can tell for sure if their dies 
and pins will fit.
