TUBING BENDER
« on: November 20, 2012, 04:22:40 PM »
While grazing through Harbor Freight, I bought a small tubing bender that bends the 1/8" tubing that we use so much. I did not expect much for the price, but it produced a smoother bend in the tubing for a palstic tank I was putting together. You can check it here.

I'm in the market for one...Was the bend consistant throughout the radius?

Looks like a deal.

If you do a little bit every day it will get done, or you can do it tomorrow.

Doug,
The bend was constant throughout the radius. It looks as though it could do anything from a 1 deg deflection to a 180 deg U turn. The only drawback I see is that you can not alter the radius.

I have these two at the house, the tubing bender, I think is a DuBro product, but may be wrong.
