Ok I have a JD Squared Bender that has specs for thickness of tubing VS bending radious and most are .095 as thinest tube before kinking. This is for mild steel tubing though what about chromoly I know it is stronger so what can I bend thickness wise that is as strong as .095 and is DOM able to be bent thinner as well without kinking? Or is there a rule of thumb? Thanks rob.

I dont know crap ha ha, but I can say that all my reading says .095 DOM is fine for building a cage. I think .083 is mim in moly but .095 is required for main bars.

We do cages out of DOM or Mild with the important bars in .120 wall and others in .095. Chromoly is good but more brittle than DOM or Mild. If you are doing chromoly use atleast .095.

Thanks, so cost wise I should go DOM then for all around strength and cost.

You bending up any bars yet ?

No. Very busy work wise. Can't do anything right now.

What size dies do you have for the bender??

I got a few, do you need something? bender just sitting looking good lol

I have 1" tube and 1 1/2" tube thats it. 1 3/4 is $318.00 for it. I have to see if it's worth the money to invest and build or just go get it done at Evol1. I talked to Andy yesterday right after Bruce left I guess.

Is your bender a JD Squared? Or JMR? Or are the dies interchangable?

its the JD not sure if interchangeable

Yea mines the JD too. I have the newer one. I think they call it the type3? Do you have 1 3/4 die ? Oh and what are you doing with the mid travel kit?

ya I have the 1 3/4, 1 1/2 and 1 inch, the mid travel is going on the auction block when I get to posting it.. I didnt want to post it cause everyone allways wants to see pictures and I need to take some now that I got it off the car.
