Fabrication gear - what to get?

[jlee]

Looking for a tubing bender and notcher for offroad fabrication. Any better / more cost effective options I should be considering?

I was going to get something from affordablebender.com but their bender only goes up to 1.75" x 0.12" mild steel (thinner wall for DOM) and no square tubing dies are available.

I already have a belt sander, metal chop saw, 4.5" grinder, cheap welder (have access to a good welder), 19" press break (access to 30"), and access to a bandsaw table.

you could look around for a deal. This might be good enough.

Did not spot a good bender locally for you.

I do have a free cutoff saw similar to this one, but getting it there is problematic.

Eastwood has a notching tool that is considerably less expensive.

I've no experience with any of the jd squared or eastwood products.
