This is the official Model 32 Hydraulic Bender video by JD Squared, Inc. Watch Bob Hughes - owner/engineer demonstrate how to load and operate the Model 32 as well as discuss some important features.
I been dreaming of getting a real bender for years and now i need one more than ever. I have been looking at all the options HARD and after seeing the craftsmanship in this. Im getting a model 32 for sure
Bought our model 32 last year right when covid hit. It was nice to stop down and visit for awhile. We had a model 3 before but the 32 has been a great investment!
Great video! Showed me all i needed to know. Anyway, I just bought one, awful expensive here in the uk, but BRILLIANT machine. The quality is unbelievable.. Trust me, you get one of these you will be sooooo pleased. This machine will blow you away, nearly too nice to use!!!!
You need to come up with a tool holder attachment for you pedestal stand so all your tools, wrenches and pins are right there to grab easily. Tossing them on the workbench , putting them in a pocket or tossing them on the floor takes up time to fetch the tool or pin for repetitive jobs. Please come up with a tool/pin holder for the pedestal stand.
@davi200 Sorry, that would be me. I'm Bob. My main job is to design really good machines at the best price possible. As for doing videos, I'm not a professional but I'm the best we have!
Don’t stress even if u did it perfect someone would complain or pick at something else. Your like me and don’t know everything about everything and do everything perfect the first time. I’m just a dumb welder u don’t want me painting your show car. I could do it but u would not win the prize. I wish I was as perfect as 90% of the population. U sure made a great bender so I will let the camera work slide. U got the information across to me and thanks for that.
For those of us who appreciate good engineering, you are the only one we want to hear from. Flashy videos are only good for compensating for lousy products. (RU-vid, why the heck you wait 10 years to suggest this video to me?)
@7:59 cord will get pinched. Then at 9:19 you suggest, remember some are idiots, do something that will cut a finger clean off I would take the suggestions to remak this video Very seriously. Nice machine
i know i hear the air hissing but are you actually using an electric over hydo unit cuz i can here a motor run when bending and all of the air/hydro units ive see sound like there pumping. any they are much slower
WOW! Great bender! How much is that machine worth? I live in Canada, how much would that machine cost me at my door? I'm very insterested, just need to know if it's within my budget. Thanks! Cheers!
Yes that is correct, 1/4 Inch is in face .250 BUT square Tubing is thinner hence the .188 wall thickness, Standards vary from manufacturer and the actual standard for a particular size.
You know what... this may not a good video in technical terms, but it convince me! I love USA made products and this particular looks very solid and well made...It looks that i am going to die before the machine,like my snap-on tools.....I hope i find it in Europe...
Can the basic model 32 be upgraded to the hydraulic if a person decided later that they needed it? Right now I can't see ever needing to bend anything with anything as thick walled as 1/4" or even 3/16" but a person never knows what will happen in the future. Thanks
Bob, just a thought, I notice on your demo's you throw your tools and stuff on the ground and have to retrieve them later...why not get a bench or table adjacent to your demo area to put them on...your back might thank you :-)
.Would like to every CLR die for each size pipe but can't afford that. If there are several different radius's for a given die which CLR would be the best one to cover most bending situations, the smallest CLR, the biggest CLR or if there happens to be more then 2 CLR radius the one in the middle?
This looks like a good machine but please do not keep zooming in and losing focus- that was painful to watch- and slow down the talking a bit and switch off the compressor when you want to say something. If you want to sell a machine like this it's worth getting a pro in to do the videoing because otherwise people get turned off. Spoilt a good demo.
@arnoldcustom I think what he said was 2" dom round tube with a 1/4" wall and 2" square tube with a wall thickness of .188". Two different things. BTW last I heard 1/4" was .250".
you talk about 2x2 sqare tube 1/4" wall but your website spec's say Maximum Wall Thickness - .188" what gives//? last i know 1/4 is 0.255 will it bend rectangle tube such as 2x1 x1/8 wall,1-1/2x2" or 1-1/2 x1" - 1/8 or 3/16 wall?
So what I have for the model 32 hydraulic bender is the SPX PowerTeam foot pedal hydraulic pump rated at 10k psi. I'm using a small air compressor with a 6 gallon air tank and it's rated at 125psi. This does the trick for what I do as I usually make a bend, take a few mins to look stuff over, make another bend, and go from there. The hydraulic fluid is AW32 or AW22, the AW stands for "anti wear". Check the manual or give JD2 a call to confirm, I'm sure they will be happy to make sure you're on point.
+Bruce Hudgens Thank you very much.Yes that is what i have also, and what type of hydraulic fluid do you use for it? and do you know if their is a distributor in the Sacramento Ca area. Thanks again and i do enjoy your products.
+Michael Diapoulis not my products, I'm just a garage fabricator. The hydraulic oil I'm using is a regular AW22 light grade hydraulic oil, which is pretty much the same as AW32 according to everything I could find. You should be able to find it at Lowe's or other DIY stores, I think I picked up a few gallons at a Northern Tool store. take care and happy bending.
I like this model, with all the dies, not cheap over here in Australia, but I don't think I'd need all the dies, 22.5mm, 25mm and 50mm all in Round and Square, that would be a nice addition to my man cave.
And don't worry about your camerawork skills, I do it for 15 years and the way you were trying to film it (one take)most probably I would do a bad job too. I see that you used couple of lights, but from what I can see they point way to high (talent) and you want to show the machine.Do an intro wide shot where the talent explains what we're about to see than concentrate on the machine. Move everything away from the wall and light the details your filming, take your time. Good luck :)
The hydraulic Model 32 doesn't come with a pump. Just the cylinder. We offer an air pump with hose for $470 and an electric pump with hose for $895. They are both USA made pumps with a manufacturer warranty of one year.
+JD Squared, Inc. ok so k can do the air pump and set it up with my compressor. Thus for 800 for the bender plus 470 for the pump making it 1270. And haven't touched any dies? But that would be the complete set up?
rcsquirrel17 That is correct. You would have everything you needed except the die sets.Here is a link to the die sets for that machine. jd2.com/c-17-model-32-bender-die-sets.aspx
I bought the model 32 manual for 1.5" x .163 dom tubing. I was told by the salesman that I could bend this size tubing with NO problem...even at age 64. I'm in pretty good shape,worked construction for 40 yrs....but I can only bend this friggin tubing 10 degrees!......now I need to order the hydraulic cylinder,pump and adapter! WTH?
Fine American ingenuity. Great job fellas. I wish you all nothing but the best! Regarding video production complaints: What a bunch of nit-picking girls!!! Complaining about video quality? How spoiled can you be? Only a drama queen would complain about this demo! Or any demo! In fact I learned a few things. Nice job.
See the problems with the JD2 Model 32 bender: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HCFQWkefZ-U.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Uraie75DRG8.html
You can improve the future videos easily: tell your talent to slow down (it is not live TV), he is doing it for YOU so when you are aware that the last shot was not good STOP him, redo the shot, change the camera angle to make your video more interesting. As you make these mashines- you know what are the most important parts that need to be shown (potential buyer will want to see em). You're probably worried that if you stop you'll mess the audio- not a problem you can record it separately :)
In the beginning of the video, when they tried to show the round 2" tubing (terrible filming) that was NO WAY 1/4" wall aka .250 wall... I love my JD2 bender but that wasn't true. Looked like .188w.
