Staffa tube bender,Fareham,Hants. Price drop.

[richy246]

My Staffa tube bender for sale,used to bend a couple of exhausts but now surplus.This is a hefty bit of kit that comes with its own box for the formers.What you get is the bending machine with 1 1/2" and 2" staffa formers.
13 Hilmor formers 16mm to 42mm
1 Record former 22mm.
The box and quite a few other little formers that you can see in the photos.
This thing is bloody heavy so its collection only from Fareham in Hants.Price is £250 which is probably less than the formers on their own.

If only I had the money. Good luck with sale and have a free bump. Incedentally - I know my 'tools co-op' thread went down with mixed reviews, but I need to make an exhaust for my bobber project, which I will have to pay someone to make. if anyone or mulitple people want to chip in, I'd be up for chipping in and having if for a week or two?

What sort of quality bends does this do?
I have been offered a manual bender, with a similar collection of bits, for a bit less money and i know it does nice bends.
Hydraulic does sound easier though

Hi Al,
Does nice bends if you take it slowly.But I,ve only ever done exhaust tubing.

Hi, just a quick question;

Can you use those Hilmor guides and formers with this bender? They look like the ones that fit on the floorstanding manual benders, that's why I'm asking.

Cheers, Joe.

OK to answer all the questions I,m getting,I went out and tried the Hilmor formers. You can use them but its hit and miss and something of a balancing act. To that end Iv,e adjusted the price to £150 for the machine and the 2 two staffa formers,just treat all the other stuff as freebies!!

Hmmm. what size tubing would it bend up to (cleanly)? As I said, I'd like to make an exhaust, but I also fancy making some custom springer forks and few bits for a frame.
