hey whats the deal with the centerline radius of the jd2 and protools low end benders? Is the bender built with such large tolerances that its unpredictable, or is it all in the dies, or is it just the nature of draw benders? Sounds like most people's bends are off by 3/8" to 1/2" according to whats stamped on the die.

Doug have you checked the radius of the bends your machine makes compared to the die spec?
