More novice questions sorry folks!
I normally just bend using a mandrel but 3mm thick gold is a bit tricky and as I have the grooves cut first it is really tricky trying to prevent it bending where the groove ends.
So I was wondering about getting a ring bender, had a brief look on Cooksons and saw these:

Bit expensive but how useful are they? it says they can bend metal up to 4mm thick so thats good.
Are they only for reducing/stretching plain bands?
And are there any cheaper ones that would do the job ?
Thanks
