Yeah. You're probably right. It will give me something else to strive for.


I've done 3 cages with my bender, all by hand. It's not THAT bad. A workout? Yes. End of the world? No. Now if you were say bending .120 wall CM, THAT is a pain... But it's not needed.

Agree, and for my entire cage I had 10 bends, not a one at 90, 4 maybe 15 degrees, everything else was straight pipe. FC cage would have a few more, but there is a lot of time between bending,fitting and tacking the pipe so you can "rest up". Its not like you're standing there bending all day long.


What did you do for the main hoop.. those are usually in
the 90* range
EDIT
As said already... if you arm strong it.. you have
to mount the bender... with hyd it can be on wheels
since the load is all applied in the bender
