Yes. The links Shane and I put up are for tubing benders.

Can a tubing bender be used for bending pipe too? Or just tubing? And, I did bookmark the three links, looked at them briefly, and will look further into it soon.

pipe and tubing benders

as far as I know, the die on a pipe bender moves twords the pipe. so the pipe never actually moves. On a tubing bender, on the other hand, The tubing moves around the die. and the die doesn't.

Yes, my JD2 just requires a 'pipe' die rather than a 'tube' die. They are different.
