The Dies didn't quite fit right and I ended up wasting about 2 feet of tube. I think they were marked for ID pipe and not OD tube. But in the end it came out decent once I used a smaller die. I also picked up some metal for a Bumper I'm building for "plh". I'll chronicle that build in a separate thread. I swept it forward just a bit so I can possibly mount lights to it. Not sure exactly how or if it will look right.

Here's it done: Note the "Don" bumper on the white 90. That thing is built to survive a nuclear blast all 1/4" channel.

Was it one of those hand-pump hydraulic tube benders? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Yea, It's a "hydraulic pipe bender" I believe the dies are made for bending galvanized pipe which is why they dont quite fit for bending tube. It got the job done but it wasnt too kind to the tube, leaving some little dents in it. looks like this: I think I'm going to invest in a real bender soon. the bender isnt too bad but the dies are extra$$$. Keeping an eye out for a used one. Want to get one like this: Last edited by justice; 01/20/09 03:03 PM. Page 12 of 20 1 2 … 10 11 12 13 14 … 19 20 Go to page...
