This might be a little off topic for a machining group but I have a metal-working-related question that someone here might be able to provide some good information about. ?I recently came across an unused Compact Bender (floor model) at a price point that was way too good to pass on. ?I am looking to attach it to the floor of my garage using caulk-in anchors so I can set it up and take it down as needed. I have not used one of these benders before but I've watched quite a few videos. My question is about critical space around it. ?How close to the nearest wall would you get (figuring farther away is better but space is limited). In other words, what is the minimum amount of space you would recommend from any wall. And, which side do you feel can work with the least amount of space? I've got some thoughts on these things but wanted to see if anyone here has experience with one of these benders and has some thoughts about the initial setup.
