Tubing bender question

JJ13 · Feb 15, 2004

Got my JD2 model 3 the other day. It came with an "H" shaped piece. It was not listed in the directions anywhere, and I don't see what the heck the thing is for. Someone clue me in plz. It is 2 1/2" x2" with 3/16th ears.

If you are talking about the 3rd picture, Have no idea what it is, mine does not have anything like that and Mine works fine

Yes the 3rd picture...that came with my bender. I only purchased a 1" square die, so it may have something to do with the square setup, but I am at a loss for what. Also, does the followbar on your dies "float" on the pin??? Mine does not line up with the die otherwise.

Ya, no idea!
Is that thing solid?

I can't see your other pics.

1" square, what are you going to be building. If you get something bent post some pics, I have always wondered how their square dies did.

Yup it does float. Just have to lift it a little when inserting the tubing, thought about getting some washers for it, but I got over it, never bought square dies so I could not answer that one

yes it is solid, looks like they machined a recess in both sides of a long chunk of solid stock and then cut this sliver off with a bandsaw in need of a new blade.

I am gonna build some racks and some other stuff. Thinking of a plan for some patio furniture for the new place I am buying soon. That way my wife won't bitch as much about the time I spend out in the shop.

I will let ya know how the square bends...
