Plumber, what kind of tube bender are you getting? I have been looking myself and was considering either getting a Harbor Freight and making upgrades/mods http://www.cnczone.com/forums/bending_forging_extrusion/3356-home_built_tubing_bender-2.html or http://www.pro-tools.com/

I just bought a Millermatic 180 Mig and love it. I had a buddy that moved away last year and I used his until he left. Loved it so I finally had to step up and buy one myself. I found my local Airgas shop beat their online price and everything else on the net except two on Ebay located on the East Coast. If I had a problem support would be better if I bought locally and I like to keep my bucks in the community when possible. Mine was $1022 out the door with the large tank, one size down from the biggest tank, an extra large spool of wire. I bought the Mig cart at Harbor Freight on sale for $43 but had to make a couple of mods. It now works perfectly. 2947946210104282158hCLyye_th.jpg

Good luck,

I have both the harbor freight hand hydraulic bender and an Hausfield bender. The harbor freight one I found at a pawn shop and it does work pretty good. You do have to put flat plates on the pins that do the wrapping of the pipe around the block or the pins will put fairly deep impressions in the pipe. The other problem is the size of the bending blocks. I have 4 blocks and I'm restricted to those pipe diameters. Eventually I'll make more blocks but it's not real easy. They will need to be machined out of a fairly large piece of round stock on the lathe but can be done. Look on RaceDezert classified site, I see various type benders there fairly often. you might wnat to consider something that has a large variety of bending blocks available as options so you can get just what you need. The standard large size Hausfield bender will handle stock up to 4" wide so for example you could bend a piece of 1/2x4" hot roll (not cold roll). I built my own and patterned it after a Hausfield but mine will handle 6" wide and heavier all the way through. I redesigned some of their bending attachments to improve on bending quality and flexibility. Wouldn't give it up for anything. The full sized Housfield would bend the tubing for car building easily but not the cheap miniture copies. The actual Housfield is not cheap either. Another opton is to find a used muffler shop bender. I walked away from one in Las Vegas a while back that was $2000 with a lot of dies. With the economy slowly improving (real slowly), Muffrler shops will see less business as more people will be replacing rather then fixing and I think these benders will be able to be found for $1000 or so.

Sounds like you didn't get the rollers with your unit, take a look that them in this link and then you can make some for yours, maybe even a couple of sizes for big and little pipe.

      By strike250
      I have the factory service manual available for the Buck 400. Just send me a message with your email and I'll get it to you. Although there is no charge for this, it would be great if  you would visit my website where you could donate any amount to help do things like this with others who need it. Again, there is no charge for this manual, and no obligation to donate. But if you did, I would thank you for sure. Have fun on the trails. www.warriorsoffroad.com

      Not all anti-gel created equal
      By mcraigchr
      I realize that many of you do not have diesel machines.  For those that do, this is for you:
      Just wanted to post my experience this past week.  Here in Texas, we had pretty good dip in temps.  For 4 days it did not get above 25.  At night, it was single digits or close to it.  I always put Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer in the storage tank (30 gallon).  And up until this tank I was using Power Service (white bottle) for anti-gel.  Never had an issue.
      This tank, however, I switched to Stabil All season (anti gel).  It is supposed to good down to -40.  Zap.  That is a big fat lie.  I put in twice the amount called for in the instructions.  Result was less than optimal.  I drove the SxS 100 feet (to go get the mail) and it died.  I looked at the fuel bowl and it was a cloudy, wax substance.  So, the Stabil did not work.  That said, I'm not sure that I ever tested the Power Service in the same manner.  So I am not saying that one is better than the other.
      What are your experiences?  Are these products inferior?  What do you folks in the northern states / Canada use?  Am I missing something?

      New AMP Pro Owner
      By Xov
      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      Severe weather or other safety alerts on your InReach, Zoleo, etc.
      By Wandering Bison
      Hey everyone,

      I am looking for people who enjoy remote adventures to test a new service I have launched, I thought I'd reach out to the community here.

      Almost three years ago, my travels took me to Cape Scott Provincial Park, at the northern end of Vancouver Island,  a remote area on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, where I spent a week. While there, I realized I would have had no way of getting notified of a distant earthquake and the resulting tsunami. My Garmin inReach would have allowed me to call for help in an emergency or to get a current forecast, but it couldn't alert me in the case of an immediate risk. Imagine a similar situation in an area at risk from flash flooding, forest fires or a tornado. When I got back to civilization, I tried to find a solution. Surprisingly, no one offered a notification solution using a satellite device like inReach!

      So, I founded a company called Adiona Alert to provide the service I needed but couldn't find. 

      After more than two years of work, including testing the service over the last six months throughout North America and issuing over 2000 safety alerts, including severe weather, to our small fleet of test devices, we are beginning to invite people to join our Early Access program so they can start using the service today for free! 

      Given where your adventures likely take you, this community would be perfect to test the service.

      As we slowly add small groups of users, It would be great if some of you would apply for our Early Access program. You would get these potentially live-saving alerts for free. All I ask in return is to share your thoughts, suggestions, and even complaints with my team to improve the solution.

      I would love you to visit our website - AdionaAlert.com, to learn more and apply for our Early Access program.

      Thanks for considering this, and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
