Default Where to get a pipe bender?

Hey guys I would like to buy a cheep pipe bender. I think it would be cool to build a unique frame. I think it would be pretty easy with an old frame and modify it. I'm really not smart on pipe bending. I'm sure ya'll know a good cheep unit out there. thanks

Hey Jeff, I know alot of these guys just use a couple different conduit benders. That is the cheapest way to go. If you are going to be bending alot of different sizes of pipe Harbor Frieght has one for a couple 100 bucks. Got your messages this morning. I will shoot you a picture of my mount if I get it done today.

Toker,
This is probably more than you want to spend unless you start making bikes for a living but its a great tool. I have used one and it works. Check out some of the other metal working tools these folks have. Eastwood Co. - Eastwood's Tubing Roller

I found that this is the best place to buy tools.
$99.00 +S&H is a good deal for a 12 ton bender.
- Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices
here are a few other sites as well, but I would go with HarborFreight.

Tube Bending Machinery, Pipe Benders, Tubing Notchers, Bead Rollers
