My first time using a Hossfeld bender was in 1971. I've bent a piece or two. Have two of them in my garage...

I just bought my first bender, it’s a hossfeild as well! I love your video! So thankfull too own this peace of equipment!

thank you Chris.....wish I cold be in your class.... the one thing you did not mention, is the mark on the die showing where to line up the material.... I just had to but a 166 degree bend in 1 inch 14 gauge, and use a 20 foot stick,,,,,having that 10 feet out of both ends was fun to control for one guy....haha.... unfortunately, the Hossfeld without the L long frame will not go past about 110 degrees......so we had to go to manual from hydraulic after getting to 110 degree.... but after bolting the machine down, we got it done.... we cold have done in one bend, after my cohort showed up to work, we had the Armstrong power to do manual ... I am 71 years old and did not want to kill myself, as I had done some short bends on our manual bender...... best wishes from an old guy in Florida, Paul Brown
