i would think the reason someone would be interested is to save time and materials. but time and materials are worth money and that plasic contraption is worth money and way too much of it, its kinda counter productive. if it was 75-100 i would seriously consider it. it would knock off alot of time with cutting, tacking and grinding for sure

i definitely agree with that. all i'm saying is that it's pretty impressive and it would make life much easier.

These may seem like expensive toys, but I can think of more then a handful of situations we've seen in the past couple months where these would have saved our customers big $ on redesigns for production bending.

Its to bad they are so expensive as it would be handy for mocking a mani up for a car and then sending to the fabricator for reproduction.I dont get why its so expensive
