Xtreme Cartz Custom Built Electric Hydraulic Tubing Bender

I built this bender using the gottrikes.com air hydraulic plans but it was too slow for production work and would not do a full 90* without resetting the pin so I then upgraded it to electric hydraulic. Makes a 90* bend in less than 10 seconds and without having to repin. Check out my build thread at http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/design-center/23714-custom-built-air-hydraulic...

Can you contact me with your build thread? I'm inerested in the gottrikes bender, but i agree the air/hyd is way too slow for what i want.  And info would be greatly appreciated.

I just ordered the plans. How did you modify them to get the great bender you have there.

@johnjanes1 I just came up with a design in my head to modify the original plans. check out my build thread (err it wont let me post the link)

Could you tell me what hydraulic lever you used from Northern. Could I just use a log splitter one? or just any old hyd lever would work as long as it can handle the pressure from the pump? Im using a 3 in bore cylinder and basically everything that you used. Hopefully the larger cylinder will slow it down some, to give better accuracy.
