I have that same bender from gottrikes. I'm dying to go electric hydro too but can't find the right ram and pump setup. Can you help me find a link to the correct ram and pump?
Hi, it will come down to budget. The formulae is force = psi x piston area. So if you found a pump producing 2500psi and the ram has a 3" diameter bore then the force would be 8tonnes, the same as the manual ram.
Very nice! Compact, too. May I inquire about the helicopter? Is it your design, or plans, or a kit? My neighbour was a military helicopter mechanic and talks about getting a mini helicopter. He might be interested in this. Thank you!
Hi and thanks. Yes, the helicopter is my own design, I've made just about every thing on it, including the blades. It's inspired by the Bensen b9 and Nolan coaxial helicopters. This is my other channel youtube.com/@btd1982 Which is all about it. Cheers Ben
Hi and thanks. The Dies are a pain to make, take ages and cost a lot in material. Can't compete with the price of the ones available online unfortunately.
What a bender! 😉 Another interesting and clever tool Ben! Nice one!
Thank you. 👍
Very good job Ben. I like your small and compact bender. Thanks for sharing your ideeas
Came to make a bender, now gone to make a helicopter 🙂
😆👍

@@bensclassicbodywork Thank you, sir!
So amazing. Can I buy a die from you? Looking to bend 1 5/8" tube.

The helicopter bit was so funny in when i first saw it. „I built this pipe bender … to build a helicopter. Yeah. There it is“ 😂
😁👍
Keep forgetting you built a frigging helicopter 😂
😆 yes, four wheels can be fun but I also like no wheels.
