TN Tubing Bender - JD Squared Model 3

[JoseyWales]

Tubing Bender - JD Squared Model 3 bender. Professional tubing bender used by racing and other tube chassis fabricators. Die included is for 2" OD tubing - bends at 6.5" radius, up to 180 degrees. Minimum tube wall thickness 0.095" - This is what makes it better than the cheap "pipe benders"... bends thin-walled structural tubing without kinking.

I went to the Johnson City, TN factory and picked it up about 5 years ago. With the die and pedestal, it now sells for $775 excluding some hefty shipping charges and tax if you live in TN. I want to get $600 for it. I used it to build a roll cage in my Bronco, and it has been in storage for a couple of years. The pictures show some surface rust, but no penetrated rust is present. After I noticed the rusting, I started keeping a coat of oil on it. The bender is in excellent condition with no defects or damage.

I also have the Notchmaster tube notcher by JD Squared that I will let go for $225. JD Squared sells this for $275 plus tax and shipping. The notcher is also in excellent condition. Details about it can be seen at:

Would you take $500 for it if I came and got it?

I'll keep that offer in mind, but a guy is coming to look at it Monday who wants both the bender and the notcher. Thanks, Greg.

how easy does the manual one go thru 2" tube? I'm interested in getting one for my home shop

I think I was using 1/8" wall tubing, and it bent it with no problem. The handle on the bender is long enough to make the leverage easy. The manufacturer also offers a hydraulic kit that can be added, but I think it does fine in the manual configuration. Thanks, Greg.
