I sure get it, these dies aren't cheap and like you say if it were production or you did a lot of bending yeah buy one, but in a pinch or for a few bends this is a great idea, thanks for the tip.

Yessir

Awesome bro

Nice! Good info. Love your builds, Brother. Can’t wait to see what you build next!

Thanks!

That’s awesome video man congratulations 👍

[@RathaSochenda]

Thank you

[@modificationnation73]

Nice. Good for one or two bends.

[@RathaSochenda]

Depends how many sleeves you make. Normally one bend per sleeve

[@dragade101]

I like your solution. Maybe certain dies (sets) will not like to bend more material but for thinner walls; this probably works just fine in the long term.

[@RathaSochenda]

Yeah I’ll have to try this on other dies one day with thinner wall.

What if you make a removable sleeve that’s shaped and fitted onto the die and follower? Like a spacer so you wouldn’t have to make a sleeve per bend.

[@RathaSochenda]

That’s a good idea. I’ll give it a shot. Make an adapter sleeve for the follower and the die. Just need to make sure to weld in som tabs to keep it from sliding off.

[@grandpafabio]

@@RathaSochenda It's a good hack, and as you pointed out it's way cheaper than dedicated dies. I made the removable sleeves described above for my JD2 Model 32 a few yrs ago. Allows 1-3/4 die to bend 1-1/2 through 90 degrees, I've probably used it 20X and it works great. Only thing I noticed was sleeve on my (mild steel) outer sliding die was showing a bit of scoring after a few uses, however I now use a thin coat of EP grease on the outside radius of tube being bent... problem solved.

What CLR is our die?

[@RathaSochenda]

It’s 5.5

Do you always wear synthetics in your shop? I prefer clothes that will just burn when exposed to heat and not clothes that shrink up like electrical shrink wrap. Leather is the only exception because is thick enough, that incidental heat will not instantly bind the glove to your hand (thus intensifying the burn if you cannot remove clothing that has confirmed to your body perfectly).

[@RathaSochenda]

Good call I should probably where something safer.
