Bending Brass

[Deleted]

With Telford just around the corner I'm drawing up my shopping list, I'm on a limited budget since Angie lost her job so your thoughts would be helpful
Two bit of equipment on it;
1) new AB , I though the Neo would be a good starting point for a dual action?

2) etch brass bending tool , no idea here so suggestions please!

Thanks in advance guys

Hi ya Steve!!

Telford time of the year again? LOL!!! Wishing I could get over there hang out at one of these at some point!!! ;D

Aside from that....Personally I am not too sure about spending the extra coin on the Brass bender...yet. Awesome tools but pricey and a lot of the bends you can get from flat nose pliers and tweezers. I guess if you were to spend...50 quid? (did I get that right...LOL) extra on one or adding it to the Airbrush side of your purchases......AB brotha'!! I bought a smaller cheaper one (under $20 USD) and it works excellent all around. The only thing I noticed was the "break" part that you draw down with a knob to make your bend would not pop up like the fancy ones.....took the thumb screw out and slid a cut-down stretched out ball-point pen spring on to the threads....Bam!

As for the AB, I will have to let some one else chime in on the Neo as I do not have one, so can't tell you! LOL!!! All I can tell you is I do know the Airbrush Company has some deals as does AK Interactive does. AK has the Badger Khrome....I have one of these.. Sweet ride there...I won in the past the Sotar which is I think is over $300 USD as well as the 100 series which is to the other side being under $100 USD...both great but the Khrome at $120 USD (Pretty sure) is versatile all the way around and the price is right!!!!! Iain Hamilton (AK) ships with in a day or two of the order plus you can order some AK stuff to comae along with it!! ;D


Yeah....probably didn't help at all hear did I Steve!! LO!!!! WOW, too much coffee I guess this morning!!! ;D

Hey steve. i would love to afford telford but you never know . as for etch bending the Small bug from the small shop cost around £29 and is just about all you will need. i did splash out on some other bendy bits but don't use them often enough....yet

so small shop Bug, oh its only about 3" square

Lol T ! ;D. Yep 50 quid will cover it I've got pliers but I still mess up the stuff . I like Badger AB's . I've had a 200 for over twenty years now and it's still good. Maybe a Krome then if I can find one at the right price

Hey Spud, thanks buddy, that looks ideal and at under £30 it's now on the list

Thanks Bluebottle, nothing better than user feedback . Neo is on the list

Great idea Dicky, you're right of course buy quality once I'll intro myself and see what they can do for an MSC addict like me

Thanks again guys
