It's possible to bend 3/4" x 3/4" .065 wall square tubing without having it kink while the bend is being formed.

Any heavier and it will crinkle like a pop can.

Unless you have a mega bucks mandrel bender such as aftermarket automotive frame builders use.

Hossfeld benders work well. www.hossfeldbender.com located in Minnesota.

We have one at work and it will bend square bar, round bar, flat bar, tubing, angle iron, and schedule 40 lightweight pipe.

There are a Plethora of dies, molds, inner and outer to use with it.

It's available in either manual, or hydraulic power.

Thanks for the help. That looks great. I wish they had prices on their site.

Their prices aren't the cheapest but then again it's good quality material the tool's/ dies are made of.

I have broken a couple of dies, just from my own abuse, [using them in a press, rather then the bending tool.]

Cost vs. downtime for not having the proper tool or die, [ my abuse excluded] is negligible.

I think there is a toll free 800 num,ber on their home page.

HF Benders are for flat stock, and solid bars. I would reccomend a Pro-Tools bender. I have there model 105 hd. You can buy square dies for it.

Here are some pics of the bends. These are 1.5" square that I bent with mine.
