One on one side and two on the other side of the wise. There is a really good picture of it too.Thanks. I tried to search every which way but I can't find it.

Reply:Qdn - To me, this looks ideal to use as a coiler, for winding  long runs in a single direction, but somewhat tedious to use for single bends or for back-to-back bends with direction changes.If it's single bends that you're making, how ‘bout the type of bender that swings a rolling die in a radius around a stationary mandrel?Good Luck
