I could not mount mine to the floor because I have heat tubing in the floor so I welded. A two inch square tubing to the bender and mounted a 2 1/2 receiver tube to my workbench and drilled a 5/8 hole through the 2 inch and 2 1/2 tubing so I could use a hitch pin. This works very well and I can also mount it to my truck hitch. If needed, great video

Thanks for your comment. Mounting it to your bench with ability to remove and be portable using your truck hitch makes a lot of sense. I do wish that my shop had a heated floor.

Looking to get one. They all seem to be the same but vary in price from $116.00- over $389. Online they all look the same with the exception of one by kaka having the scroll die. Scroll die doesn’t justify 3 times the price. Would love to get a hossfelder but they are over $1,000 used.

This bender will do most of the bending that I plan to do. I have plans for a hossfeld and may build iit some day.

I have one made by Howron Industries in Denton, Texas. A Pro 2. I haven't got it put together yet. I just got it 20 or so years ago. The holder you made for the arm was nice. Thanks for the videos.

Don't feel bad, I created these videos of the bender and have only used it once so far. Thanks for your comment.
