1/2" pipe bending unit

admin

Hello folks, here is another bending unit, this one is meant to bend 1/2" black iron pipe. It is a double wrap-around type and uses a 5 ton hydraulic long ram. As it is currently set up it will make up to approximately a 120 degree bend. I have used it to bend various rack frames for quads and other items our of pipe. This particular unit doesn't have interchangeable die sizes. As with any powered unit that has stored energy, you need to be mindful of where you position your body and that of others while you are using it. Best regards, AllanI should have included this first-off, would love to see anyone elses versions of similar types of equipment. Thanks!
