tubing bender

[gwaii]

This helps spread the stress of the bend over the entire length of the bend, lessening the deformation of the cross-section. This also creates much more uniform stress throughout the bend, resulting in a stronger bend as well.

this is a key point.the deformation i showed in the picture above is very uniform from one end of the bend to the other-a cut across any part of the bend will have the same profile.as pointed out,this will not be the case with the HF bender,plus you will usually get dents in the topside from the rollers.also,the dies for the HF bender are sized for sch pipe,not tube sizes.all tools still have their uses,though-and neither of these are good for exhaust.i'm surprised no one with a tubeshark has piped in here.

Oh well maybe I will start out all my posts coming right out like a cocky arrogant prick and not even contribute to the question at hand. Then I will check back later to see if anyone is irritated that way I can see if I was justified or not.

Stating my future personal actions is by no means making a personal attack, but if you want to be so concited and belive they are then be my guest.

ahhh so your last post was in no way implicating me? sorry my ego gets away from me sometimes


all in all you came in bashings others tools then showed a few small bends with your own but showed none on your work really, i wasnt being a smartass when i asked to see your work...hell if you can do the things you say you can with your bender and it be nice work youll see nothing but respect from me

but all you have done is do alot of talking with no backing it up, im sorry if i hurt your feelings...can we hug and make up now?

I'll give you credit, your first post was on topic and stating your experiences with the topic on hand.

Ever since then, you have had no positive input and have basically turned this thread into your personal attack against anyone that has anything to say about your sub par bending techniques.


We get it. You do great work with your shitty pipe bender. Good job, you deserve a pat on the back. Anyone that spends money on quality tools is stupid and should be shot. Why on earth do they even make tube benders when all anyone has to do is go to Harbor Freight and spend $100?
The only one that is worried about you is you. You have more posts in this thread than the OP or anyone else. Let your awesome pics. of your work do the talking and be done with it. Like I stated in my post--cheapskates will argue their point with a brick wall---you have proven this to be so true.


Now be sure to quote me and come back with a snappy response. I know you will.

Thats horseshit I can count one positive contribution right off the bat. I was asked if it will bend a 180 I said no not without a custom lower die. I would say thats a valuable positive contribution. Sub par? how so, it seems that I am one of a few people who can actually get it to work.

Thank you! your so right. Seriously though I cant help the fact that you and all the other simple minded people are having so much trouble with this totaly uncomplicated device. Can't get a grasp the concept that if you turn a hollow object into a soild i.e. packing a tube full of sand, it is less likely to deform and dent. I think it is a wonderful very usefull tool, the fact alone you call it shitty just makes you sound to me like another disgruntled broke JD2 owner. What do you think I am going to let other people worry about me for me? If I did that I would be broke and have a warehouse full of shit I dont even need. Your dam right im cheap unlike most I like having money to spend on other things.

i like how you mention "less likely to deform and kink"

keep a digging that hole
