Bought some stuff.
 

Well I just bought a new die grinder, 6x48 belt sander with a 9" wheel, a box of spair belts, and an angle finder. It was cheap stuff at Harbor Freight but I use the same sander at the shop and have never had it fail so I bought one. All that stuff was only like $250

I also am buying a Miller Spectrum 375 plasma cutter from CoreyR for $700. He just doesnt ever use it and I will.

I also just ordered a JD2 tubing bender deluxe kit tonight. I got a 1 5/8" die and a 1 3/4" die for it. I also bought the bend tech PRO software. I paid $1329 shipped for everything. http://www.tricktools.com/bend_tech_softwarePRO.htm

I figure on needing 1 3/4 for mild steel and 1 5/8 for Cromoly.

Its time to build ----. No more ------- around.

I was at the track on Friday. The shop I do fab work for rented it for the day. I wanted to see some of my handy work go down the track. Well it turns out I have a lot of people wanting work after seeing what I do for the shop so I am going to rent some space at the shop I am at now.

Any ideas or opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
David

nice dave. what other options did you get with the jd2 besides the two dies? i'm thinking of picking one of these up in the future.

Re: Bought some stuff.
 

How good are those benders? Is there much distortion to the diameter of the tubing?

I was going to get the air/hydralic kit but its not worth the money from them. I can do it for around $250 insted of $800 from them. I got the stand and the bar with it. No frills.
