Re: DIACRO BENDER QUESTION

Stan,

No I haven't made any dies specifically for the Diacro. I have used
tube bending dies from another bender in the Diacro. They fit
because both machines have a 1" diameter center hole.

Starter motor? Hadn't thought of that, are they rated for continuous
duty? Don't they draw very high amperage, 50+ amps?

Thanks for the offer of the manual, I have the printed version which
covers general bending techniques for all the benders. Is that the
same thing you have on disk?
