If you have built anything, or been around any fabricator, the bender that is being used has most likely been a JD Squared model. The company has a full lineup of fabrication tools to help build anything, from a bumper to a roll cage.
We spoke with Chad Ramey, who explained a little more about the benders and tube notchers the company produces. “The main difference between the Model 3 and Model 32 is the anti-springback. As you are cranking on the die there is a balk that sets, and this creates the anti-springback when going to get another bit on the next tooth.”
“The Model 32 is more versatile. It is capable of doing larger tubing, and wall thickness than the Model 3,” Ramey continued. These benders including the Model 4, which was not on display, pulls the tube through along the die while not kinking the tube.
When fabricating, bending the tube is just the first step. Being able to create a nice, clean notch is next. JD Squared has three different notches for every level fabricator. “The Beast is great for anything that has a crazy bend in it. The clamps are fully adjustable to conform to whatever is placed in it,” Ramey explained.
The other two notchers that they carry are the TN-100 which is their entry-level notcher capable of angled notches on 3/4-inch to two-inch OD tube. The Notch Master is capable of offset and angled notches on 3/4-inch to three-inch OD tubing.
Regardless of how much fabricating or wrenching you do, you can never have too many tools. These products have been proven over the years, a confident signal that they will last with every project thrown at them for years to come.
