School me on JD2 model 3 dies

[1TonTom]

So I have been doing a lot of reasearch this time around on buying a better bender because the last one was a complete waste of time and money( it could possibly be a whole other thread in the future) anywho it looks like I'm getting a JD2 model 3
But I am wondering for 1-3/4 .120 wall dom what die are you guys using....
5.5-180
6.5-180
7.5-180

5.5

I like the smallest radius possible in whatever size, unless you are using thin-wall tube that requires the larger radius.

Agree smaller radius is mucho more better for what we do

Wow guy's thanks for the quick responses!
So, JD2 Model 3 a good choice or should I spend the extra $90 for the Model 32?
As soon as I can afford it I will do the Swag Air/Hydraulic mount on either one later down the road.

I never had any issues with my model 3 I even bent some .25" wall stuff with it

good to know... I highly doubt I will bend anything that thick with it but I have learned my lesson on you get what you pay for
