I have one and have been happy with it. Basically built an entire frame with it with no problems. The dies are relatively cheap compared with the JD models but the quality seems to be good.

it has not arrived yet, I ordered (at a later date) the Hydrolic Mod. Sounds like I should have it early next week. I will post pics and comments as soon as I get to use it.

Just talked with Cliff today, hell of a nice Virgina Guy. Says he had to remake an arm he wasn't happy with the quality, had some blemishes I think. So he is remaking the arm and shipping it early next week. Gave me the Hydo Atachment for free because of the delay. So if I dont ride next weekend I will get to try it out.

It's built and seting on my garage floor waiting for a stand. Been busy with my power steering, sorry. Just finishing it up right now. Next week I should get to play with it, lol. I need to do some tube work before I go to D&K on Halloween.

Just bent my first two 90deg pieces of 1-1/2" .125 wall DOM. Worked great and bent it easy enough. Deffinately glad I got the air over hydrolic cylinder upgrade :D I'll post some pics later. Took a little persuasion to get the pin out to remove the pipe. May be due to the .125 wall. But that aside I was very pleased with it.

I made it, wanted one that came apart for storage. Used 2" hitch reciever on the stand and bender. Then 2" square stock between the two. Worked out pretty well. Oh and I bent some .095 wall today and it came apart much easier.

Now I need a tube notcher to speed up that end. I sure wouldn't build a frame without one or a good plasma cutter.
