Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Has anyone seen any plans for building a rotary draw bender, i have a bender (swade-sir 16b) but to buy the bracketry for the rotary draw for it is around $1200 then add a former on top of that. doesn't look that hard to make just need a plan.
Thanks Damien

Couple of designs here http://www.rorty-design.com/content/CAD_plans.htm

Had a look and doesn't really help with the bender as they are for manual benders not hydraulic (thanks anyway) but the notcher looks good, will have to price one of these, looks handy.

I can supply the dies that are used with these, as well as the benders if you're too lazy to build one There is also a bracket available which allows a hydraulic cylinder to power these benders, instead of using the ratchet crank.

Can you PM or email me some pics or details and prices. As i said earlier i already have a bender so just need tha bracketry.

I PM'd you some info, but i'm a little confused now. The bracket I am talking about is for a rotary draw bender, eg, Pro-Tools MB-105 and Rorty No. 3. It wont suit a Swade-Sir 16B, which is a press type bender.

Which bracket are you talking about? You can buy the whole bender (albeit mechanical) for less than $1200

I want to convert my press type bender to a rotary draw, Swade sir sell the brackets to do this but a bit pricey for something that i could make a lot cheaper.
Swade-Sirs rotary bender is the same as mine but with the rotary draw bit on the end instead of the ram style.
