Thoughts?

isn't that what he's bending? Or are you talking about the sand and poor man's mandrel bends?

Yeah I think that's what he's bending. I'm just wondering, because everyone talks about how you can't use the HF pipe benders to bend tube, but this sand/duct tape method seems to be working. I mean, we're talking a $89.99 purchase compared to a $300 + price of dies purchase. So if this could actually work, I'm going to go buy one haha

I don't see it bending 3/16-1/4" tube though. But then again it says 1/2" to 2" thick solid rod for the 12-ton bender.

Sorry, I'm a bit new to the fab world. That would be considered smaller tube, right? As in diameter? Or are you talking about the wall?

xxxtreme22r

wall thickness. Maybe someone who has used one can chime in as well.

Got it. Thanks, hopefully someone else can share their insights as well.
