My dad used to use the old trick of filling the pipe with sand before bending. Keeps it from crimping (though I'm not sure that's the problem you're having). I'm afraid I have no bender, nor the experience to use one if I did. On Thu, Jun 27, 2013 at 10:26 AM, Bart Kus <me@bartk.us> wrote:
Hi,
These pipe bends for the Baldi mounts are not turning out great. Need something to bend 2-3/8" (OD) tubing with 90 deg angles and leave it looking pretty. The harbor freight bender for this is not the right design. A design like these seems a lot more appropriate:
where it pulls the tube through and around the bend. Horizontally oriented gear like that would also work.
Any suggestions?
