Bargain :D

Lost out on the bay but got this

Cheap at a local sale.
It has a 28mm former with it and another handle with threaded holes on one side (I think this is for the wheels that are used for bending solid bar?).

It's a bit rusty but freed up easily enough with a big hammer and plenty of penetrating oil

Its a tube bender, not a bar bender, the selection of holes are to position a roller according to the radius of the former you are using, I suspect you have several parts missing, I have a couple of these machines, I could take a photo showing it set up so that you can see how it works.

Cheers for that

I have a guide for the outside of the tube that follows the tube round the former but non of the rollers.

It's a learning curve and for what it cost I don't mind if I have to buy a few bits as I need them.

I bought one for a fiver, from someone who thought
it was junk cos the dies were all imperial;-)

I have exactly the same one but I do have a fair few formers with mine. Not perfict like a mandrel bend but can do the job.
