I have a model 3 and i love it, works great. Use 1/1/2 and 1/3/4 dies.
All i know of the model 32 is that its an ' improved ' and 'revised' version of the model 3 hense its higher pricing....
my guess is the model 3 has stopped being made or will stop being made soon and be replaced with the model 32....
My experiance of my model 3 is, it works great for all my general bar work.

Yeah, check out OPW at www.OPW.com.au and call Pete for pricing. There is also the JD2 website in the US at www.JD2.com for product info.

That was my position when I bought, but my criteria may be different to yours. I could justify it through the use it will get and the people that use it. If its just for home use then I would have thought the model 3 would be perfect and at a cheaper price.hiluxmad wrote:so model 32 would be the way to go then?

is for home use for now(sort of) but do some outside work as well so its a bit more than just personal home use.

Remember the model3 has been around for years as the only one available by JD2. The model 32 is only new.
The model 3 has done the job for many many ppl for many years for everything they have ever needed. model 32 is an upgraded version but both will do any bar work or cage work to suite the dies you need that you would ever want so its really up to you....
The model 32 wont do any different or better job to the model 3 as far as the final product of the bends goes as its all in the dies as to the job it will do, the model 32 has other differences....
up to you really....

I have manual and suspect most ppl who do the work in there shed at home would as well......
It's easy to use. Like a giant ratchet but you need to make sure you bolt it down firm otherwise your asking for trouble.

I can. Sent you a pm.
I've got a model 32, far as I can see it's just a bit more solid, bigger pins and stuff. To bend bigger stuff ie. 52mm 3mm wall, I just put a bigger extension on the lever bar.
Saving up for the hydro set up. That will make it so much easier and I can justify the expense because I use my bender every day. Still, I'm slowly accumulating all the other cool bits and pieces too. Check out the US buggy websites for heaps of interesting toys.
If you're not sure you'll use it heaps, just get the model 3. The extra heavy duty stuff really only benefits the guys who use theirs every day for long periods of time.
