Rodne sorry but my english ist so good ... If i understand good its crap ? I saw some videos and it seem that its working somehow ...

[Clark Pace]

I looked at those. But don't have personal experience? Are you bending acrylic now? I do a lot of acrylic bending and use a home made unit.

I've bent up to 60" 1/4" acyrlic with my home made unit.

No i dont bend Acrylic often but i will buy bigger machine soon and after that i will start bending more... Weike bender have interesting price and i saw video how works but i dont have experience and its reason why i asked here maybe somebody have similar model...

You can build your own bender for about $40, and they are very reliable.

Clark,

can you send some pictures of your bender?

[Rodne Gold]

I meant it should be a good machine , on its specifications I see

I do a lot of bending and use a wire bender for thinner stuff (which I made myself) and a double sided element bender for thick stuff (where you got to heat both sides of the acrylic to get a good bend - 5mm and above) which I bought from england (it was pricey)

What sort of price are G Weike asking for these?

[Martin Safranek]

180 cm about 1700 usd

[Rodne Gold]

Not a bad price , my bender from CR clarke in England was more than double that...
what exactly do you want to do with it?

[Martin Safranek]

I exactly dont know but one aplication will be Aquarium light covers or stands for products
