Do you own a tubing bender? Do you get annoyed when you bend a tube too far because you couldn't see the degree scale from where you operate the bender? Ever find it frustrating that you don't have a sure-fire way to know if you've reached the desired angle while bending tube? How many times have you asked someone to watch the degree scale and tell you when the bend reaches the desired angle? This process is frustrating and wasteful in terms of time. Medford Tool of Medford, Oregon developed the solution.
It's called the Degree Stop.
The Degree Stop is an extremely useful tool designed to alert you when you have reached your desired bend. It has been designed to work specifically on the Model 3 Bender by JD2 but may also work with others.
The Degree Stop costs just $59.95 but saves time and sometimes material when your making multiple bends during a project. The unit features a bright red LED that tells you you've reached the desired bend angle.
To use it simply place the small sensor on the degree wheel. hook the magnetic cable to it and turn on the Degree Stop.
Next, place the Degree Stop indicator beacon where you can see it while operating the bender. The unit attach's via built in magnets.
As you get close to the desired bend angle, the degree pointer will make contact with the Degree Stop sensor, grounding out the LED circuit turning on the LED indicating that you've reached your bend angle.
Batteries last up to two years.
