I'm gonna be ordering this puppy here shortly.....and then I've gotta save up for a die, but in the meantime i'm gonna build a stand for it.

Anyways, what is your most commonly used die? I'm thinkin 1 1/2" will work for almost anything I do, bumper, sliders, cage, etc.

 

I prefer the 1.75. I honestly think 1.5 looks a little on the small side and 2 inch is too big. I also like the piece of mind of having the larger tube for cage work.

 

I'd have to agree. We use the 1.75" the most, 1.5" second.

 

Ditto the above.

 

1.75" 5.5 CLR is the most popular die

 

I wish I had someone closer by that wanted to share some tools, thats the exact bender I'm getting soon, once my welder/plasma is paid for.

 

I actually picked up a Pro-tools 105HD instead. I think they're pretty equivalent except the 105HD has 5/8" arms vs. 1/2" on the JD2 and the 105. I've got some friends who want to use it to do some chromoly cagework on some racecars.

I told 'em if they contribute towards die costs, it'd be okay. haha.
