Adjustable Saddles
For 2500 180° Hydraulic Bender
5/8” TO 1-1/8” OD. Adjustable Saddle........2500-300
1-1/48” TO 1-3/4” OD. Adjustable Saddle...2500-301
This new style saddle eliminates the clutter of a saddle for every size. Two saddles cover all
sizes of round & square tube from 5/8” to 1-3/4”. The adjustable locking block allows you to
securely snug the tubing to the shoe and give you consistent compound and multi plane bends.
This new design also eliminates the stuck saddle syndrome. This is where the tubing has
wedged the saddle and pin and makes it hard to release the tubing from the saddle after
bending.
Bend Aligner
End material waste and slow trial & error fabrication. Excellent
addition if you have our BEND CALCULATOR PRO software. This
great accessory assures precise axial alignment of notches and bends.

bars, hoops & support tubes. You will be able to locate the bend start locations
as well as calculate the cut lengths. A high-light of the PRO version is the
ability to calculate multi-plane bends as shown to the right.
This easy to use Windows based software is a fabricators dream!
Calculate pipe and tube bends like the Pros. Choose a bend radius from 2” to
10”, in 1/2” increments. You also have the ability to fine tune the radius to
exactly what your bender creates.
Don’t waste your time and material guessing where and how much to
bend! DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.
Easy to follow screens and a comprehensive help file make BEND CALCULATOR PRO the most powerful and
simplest to use bending program available.
