Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Diacro Bender Question

The 8-5/8 is the center portion of the bender right? and the largest round
section is larger?
I am making my own di-acro bender and I made mine 14" and I can bend larger
rad then that by doing as you say slide the bender pean out more to allow a
larger dia die.
If you where like me and building my own do you have and do's and dont's? OR
it would be nice if???
Thanks
Stan
