Anyone in the Local (KC Side) area have or have access to a Roll Bender that can handle Square Tube?
I need to get 4 Bows done for a BBQ canopy out of 3/4 inch tubing. Don't want to spend the jack on a tool I will probably only use one time in my life. AKA Ring Roller. |

I know you're not wanting to buy the tool, but... Swag off road makes a pretty impressive set of upgrades for the harbor freight tubing roller that seem like they would be right up your alley.

Link Yeah they make a cheap tool expensive for sure! They make replacement press plates for the $150 HF 12 Ton Press for $169... So you make your $150 press over $300... But Swag is good folks! |

I stumbled across swag when I was looking at buying a portable band saw. I just about had myself talked into the portaband, their table for mounting it and the HF roll bender pimped out to their specs. I then realized that I would be buying ~$1000 worth of tools that I had no work for.
Maybe I'll get a jeep someday and I'll want to fab some bumpers on the weekends that I'm not trying to keep it running. |

So other folks can come use em! Ask 1 cm how that lathe and mill are working! |

Space is a big part of my problem right now. 3 welders, a welding table, an air compressor, zero turn mower with an extra deck, project John Deere 400 and a dirt bike or two in the near future have filled my 1 car garage to capacity. I hear you man, you saw my garage! Now I am working toward getting a building up. |
