Extremely well explained. I will make sure to share. Thank you

[ricrandmfx]

Very helpful. I've seen several videos on the topic, but this one is well thought out & well presented. Thank you

[Midwestcyclesalvage]

Great video. Just bent my first roll cage main hoop without issues or waste thanks to this video.

[xiongmoua]

Awesome video. I'm new to tube bending and you taught me well.

[welding]

The best tutorial yet, thanks for providing this video.

[livewire]

Outstanding Explanation and Presentation. 😎

hello Guzzi:
after watching a few other YouTube videos on bending tubing,
your video is much clearer than the am still having to watch a
2nd and 10th time to get it all in this old
unfortunately, I am using a Hossfeld bender, and the tubing does not
get pulled around like you style bender, I think I have seen them referred
to as a Pipe bender....due to the fact the die stays stationary ....and of course, there
is not degree for all the great in Florida

Man solid video! Just got my swag off road bender and have been looking for something like this! Most of my bends are not 90-degrees so it will take some practice but this was great!

[damienmikkelsen]

Great video man!!! I wish I found this two days ago I would have saved myself 20’ of 1.5” 0.95 DOM 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm still learning how to calculate a bend in metal on the benders I make.
Trying to learn all the different ways.
Right now I'm trying only math.
Will just be using a program when making something but want to be able to calculate without it too.
Thanks!

I felt excited when I realized why the bend contour at the end was different before you told us hahah. I’m learning slowly but surely

[vehdynam]

Thank you for that, well done. New subscriber, I will check to see if you have more about tube bending, I am a newbie.

I'd love a video on how you set the zero point, and get repeatable precision on your bend angles. I've been getting ±2° lately doing sch 40 aluminum tubing with a manual JD2 m32. Would like to get that tolerance down.

I love the color of this pro tools bender. But it’s literally an Eastwood bender but $120 more.

Bro., is it better way if put a supporting rod(movable) inside of the pipe's bending zone when bend it. my thought is that below factors shall impact the unbending size calculation and dedormation of pipe after bending:
1. pipe's OD + thickness
2. bending die's size ( it's OD should be slightly bigger than pipe's OD), for example, pipe OD 1 1/4 inch+ uppper tolerance, so bending die's size should be pipe OD+upper tole.+ 0.004inch as clearance
3. bending speed need controlled
4. pipe material will also impact (hardness), so adjust process parameter above
5. lubricantion shall optimize the process

There's a few crimps on the inside of the bends. Bend with the seam on the tube facing up or down and it'll prevent crimping. Otherwise somethings a miss with the tool I suspect..

[yoheff]

how would go about bending a 1/2" copper pipe in different diameters? say 8" 6" 4" 2"

[GotScout]

Off subject... @ "3:28" you can clearly see internal ripples!!! Does the protools suck, or was tubing too thin, or... wtf?? Thanks.

[GotScout]

Dumb question... do you need to make guides at 90°, 60°, and 45° if those are your close common bends... or can you calc them all with a single 90° guide?

[randallhinds]

Good video, but @ 2:17 you show the follower, and it is scribed "up" but you put it in down @ 2:21
