WTB: Diacro zreo radius block for 1a bender

[oliverdude]

I'm looking for the triangle shaped zero radius block for a Diacro 1a bender. If you don't want to sell, but would trust me to rent or borrow it for a couple days, that would work as well. Please PM me if you have one you would like to sell. I would need it shipped to Kansas. Thanks

I’d like one as well for my 1a bender. Perhaps someone has one and could post a tracing with accurate dimensions so we can make our own. I’ve never seen one for sale. I suspect most people see it, have no idea what it is and it just gets chucked.

I have one for a #2 bender unsure if it’s the same for a 1a?

If it is the same, I can get dimensions......

It’s not the same. 2 bender is larger.

bsg, Thanks very much for the offer, but as adh2000 said, they are different.

I realize they are different size benders.....I have owned three of the four sizes available and sold off everything except the #2!

I wasn't sure if the tooling was interchangeable......looking around DiAcro's website, there are differences between the tooling for each bender?

Right. The difference is just scale. I have a No 1 bender which has a 3/8 center hole and uses 1/4 pins. My 1A bender has a 1/2 center hole and uses 5/16 pins if I recall correctly. The zero bending die has a pin and a slot both need to be sized correctly for the bender. We could scale dimensions from your 2 die but perhaps someone will come along with the correct part and can just trace it.

How about a picture of the zero radius block? Might get more of a response from those of us with odd diacro tooling...

The top picture on page 4 here shows the correct shape for the 1a block.

Between these two PDF's and taking measurements directly off the bender, you should have all the information you need?

Yes, but with my schedule, I would rather just buy the right one if possible. Making one is more of a last resort.
