DIY CNC Tubing Bender

[jofriedl]

Hi,

Just joined the forum here to share a recent project of mine. A couple of weeks ago I had a large fabrication order come through our shop that required a cnc bender. I've had a JD Squared model 32 manual bender for years but I didn't have the cash to upgrade to a full on Baileigh CNC model or the equivalent. So, I designed a fairly easy CNC Hydraulic conversion for the Model 32. I know lots of DIY guys out there have this bender and wouldn't mind upgrading to a CNC hydraulic set up so I'm considering putting together plans and possibly kits depending on interest.

The video below is an episode from my shop/blog youtube channel and covers the overall design, among other things. Take a look if you're interested. Thanks for watching.
