They must have improved the unit and made the sphincter a bit bigger. they blew through a couple of rollcage's worth of material just shooting that video.

February 01, 2012 11:33AM Registered: 02/01/2007 Posts: 484 It looks like the bender is made by Nissin. http://www.nissin-precision.com/inpdf/Cnce.pdf I guess they have a couple different models. I found out there's a shop with one near me, but they can only do 1.25" tube. http://www.thefabricator.com/article/tubepipefabrication/tube-bending-with-no-straightsr-no-problem Gotta wonder how much something like this costs.

NoCoast Re: Look! It poops rollcages! February 01, 2012 01:13PM Registered: 01/11/2006 Posts: 6,818 I sent it to my buddy that works using cool equipment like that. They got a profile cutter that takes 100 foot pieces up to 2 foot diameter at a time. Hopefully his company will buy one of these now that he's seen it and I can go play with it!
