Tubing roller

admin

I know it has been over to death, I searched.  But I am looking for a fairly cheap roller that is able to do up to 1.5" O.D. tubing or even 1" if that is a limiting factor.  Yes I could build something, no I dont have time.  Rather just buy something cheap to get by a couple of jobs and get/build a nicer piece later.  All the BS ones I have seen on ebay are intended for flat strap (ring) rolling and dont have an option for die add ons for square and round tubing.  Suggestions?  ThanksBrandonLots of toys.
Reply:Depends on what you mean by "cheap". What is it you want to build? Thats larger pipe and depends how tight a radius you want to bend with it and thickness of pipe or tubing your bending. You generally don't find those options on the cheap ones, thats why there are cheap LOL. This is the bender I have, not cheap but built tough. Buy or make what dies you want. It will do flat bar,round and square tubing.http://www.shopoutfitters.com/TubeBender2.htmlLatest Toys Miller 180 Mig and Elite Mask!!Wright Welder 225ACShop OutFitters 20/20 Bending SystemHypertherm 380 Plasma30 Years of Sparking (Electrical & Welding)

Reply:Without having the time to build one, I don't think you'll find something cheap then. But good luck looking. Will post if I find something for you.

Reply:I had one for square tubing only.  No dies were needed, as it was adjustable for the flat of the tube, which is why it wouldn't do rounds.  It was $500 from my steel supplier, but probably could be made with about $250 in materials.  There are some pictures available here if you wanted to try to copy it.  I made many large radius arcs, and some as tight as 3'.
