    Looking at mandrel benders, All suggestions welcome

    Hey guys I have been looking into some mandrel benders and would like some opinions if anyone would like to share their 2 cents.

    Since I'll be doing headers and piping for turbo kits my runs will be small so here's what I'm looking at. Its seems like a decent mandrel starts around 40k plus tooling. I'll be looking at a non cnc because of cost. Maybe trying to do a cnc conversion in the future. I need something that can do a 1.5 bend radious.... Thanx guys
