Post subject:  Ben Pearson tube bender project from Fire sale
Hello
Well found a Exhaust Pipe / Tubing Bender
That had my name on it. At $600
It was in a fire and got smoked
Me and the wife picked it up late last Friday
Man did it ever smell.
Me and my son at the age of 10 tore in all down and
Started to sandblast all the part that fit in the cabinet
Well the kid lasted a whole 20 min on the sandblaster
That he wanted to use so bad. So I finished up today 4 days later
And here are some picks
Thanks For Looking

What are your plans with this machine do you have your own shop? Or is just for your own use. I just paid 20 bucks to have a spark arrestor adapted to my dg exhaust and they used a machine that looked just like that one.

Yeah, I've been curious also. That looks like serious machinery, can't wait to see what you make with it.

Hello I do have my own shop witch I do prototype furniture parts.
I had been looking for this type of bender to do other then guts round tube.
It great that it has the dies that go from 1-1/2 to 3” round
I think that my neighbor has his mind going all over the place with ideas.
And as my son gets older I will be getting back in mud bogging. And doing my own frames, bumpers, side bars and roll cages ext


Know back to work found one cylinder end cap with broken ear witch is cast iron
And main top cylinder the rod looked like they took a hammer to it. So I made a new
one. Here are sum more pic’s


Thanks for looking
