Thanks Glenn. If I'd had half a brain engaged this morning, the search engine woulda come to mind. (BOG)

Di Acro used to be on my way to work here in Canton Ohio until about a year and a half ago when it was sold. I stopped in a few dozen times and had some looks. The company that had the Di Acro line did my powdercoating for my wrought iron projects...Bob

If you are going to build a bender build this one instead.
Bender Similar to the Hossfeld #2
You can do so much more with it than the DiAcro ever did. Plus there is far less machining involved and less steel plates...Bob

Search youtube for Tom Bland (iron bugs, video one). This is about a nine minute video of him using his di-acro bender. Looks easy. I don't know how well the unit would hold up to hot bending but it sure looks fun to use on the cold stuff.
