I am looking for some versatility as it's always possible to go lighter, but never heavier...Skans » 15 Mar 2024, 10:07 am » wrote: ↑ So, are you looking for something that can handle larger, heavier stock? I watched a video of someone bending stuff with a cheap UBA-100 - surprisingly good, actually.
I am looking for something to make small, precise bends. Some of the cheaper Mini-Benders have problems with tolerances, and one needed a custom washer made to perform correctly. I do like the scroll former on the KAKA bender. I may try to find some videos on that one specifically. So far, still leaning toward the Mini-Bender.
the UBA-100 looks to be a good unit supporting heavier materials...just wish it had the scrolling capabilities of the KaKa...
