Download the manual for the HF version. The old version was terrible but
it's been updated with better images and examples of making letters, etc.

downloading as I type this. Thanks!!!

To mount mine I set a square post in concrete outside of my garage and
replaced the stand with a piece that fits over it. Now I just take it out
and drop it on the post whenever I want to use it. I also have a small tire
changer and plate shear that I can mount on the post when needed.

Pretty darned good idea! Thanks again!

I managed to scrounge up a "compact bender" made by Lock Down
Securities, evidently one of the older models..pretty much identical
to the metal benders sold by everyone, Harbor Freight included. Basic
bender gizmo on a square post with a plate you bolt down to the floor,
all the normal dies yada yada. It was never used and the die box has
yet to be opened.

Ok...how the heck do I use it? Ive spent 45 minutes doing web searches
for any sort of metal bender instructions that would be applicable.
Ive never even seen one of these things used before..so Im a total
cherry when it comes to this thingy. I figured it would be a nice
thing to have now that Ive gotten a bit more into welding. Shrug. It
was free..so I snagged it.

Also...anyone have any good suggestions how to mount this thing on
dirt so it doesnt go away when I reef on the handle?

Ill be putting it out back next to the welding table some place close
and of course, its just dirt back there. Id rather not pour a chunk of
concrete to mount it on as I may need to move it now and again.

Thanks in advance
