equipment Does anybody have plans for a powered 3 roll bending machine? I have a cheap hand operated machine and am looking for something a little more appropriate for production work, but don't have the money or space for a commercial machine. I'm looking for capacities up to 2" x 3/16" dia rnd tube, 1"x2" x 11ga rect tube(easy way), 2-3"x1/2" flat bar(easy way). I end up farming out my work right now and am taking it in the shorts both in costs and lead times. Here's the rub, I need it to be portable or horizontal. I only have 8' ceilings in my garage and end up rolling all of my arcs outside. Ahhh, what I'd give for a new shop, but until then I could use some alternative solutions. Jake |
