Homemade square tube bender

admin

The other night I was in the shop and needed a 90 bent out of a piece of 1" square tubing.  After a little head scratching and rummaging through my junk piles, this is what I come up with.  It worked well enough for my application , at least until I get hossfeld built.  LolMiller BobcatHarris cutting outfitMiller spectrum 625 plasmaVariety of shopmade tools

Reply:Doesn't look like he heated it, prob. just used a long cheater bar to bend it around the round piece.Airco Ac/Dc 300 HeliwelderMillerMatic 200 (stolen)Miller Maxstar 150STLMiller AEAD200LE (welding and generating power) Hobart MIG
Reply:It was just by hand.  I bent a few of them, after the piece was shorter than 2' long, I used a piece of 1 1/2" blk iron pipe for leverage.Miller BobcatHarris cutting outfitMiller spectrum 625 plasmaVariety of shopmade tools
