I must say that is the best idea i ever seen, the use of the bearing was a great idea, it looks like a very sturdy unit too! I use to work at a place years ago that used large bearings like that, I could have gotten my hands on tons of them, great video and great tool !

That is one slick bender.
I am impressed that is an easy to use and simple but very cool bender
I've destroyed 3 Apple clocks! I'm always serious I forget to download the watch!Quote:

Show up to a motor rewind shop with a dozen donuts and I bet you can get all you can carry.

So now I am putting feelers out to friends trying to locate a bearing such as this...at to be honest, I have no clue where to begin, BUT I would like to know the size of bearing in video. Thanks!Quote:
