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

@guzzifabrication3448 Месяц назад

That's awesome !! sounds really complicated at first but with some practice you can make very precise bends.

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!

Nice ! make a gauge in your size tubing and your good to go.

@awfab3517 Год назад

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!

hello Guzzi: after watching a few other RU-vid videos on bending tubing, your video is much clearer than the others.....I am still having to watch a 2nd and 10th time to get it all in this old brain..... 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 scale.....thanks for all the great information......Paul in Florida

@ar5000 7 месяцев назад

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.

@guzzifabrication3448 7 месяцев назад

Time stamp 2:33, is that what you are looking for? or another item that can throw off the bend is not pre loading the assembly ( pushing the dies, follower, etc all to same starting point when you install the tubing.

@ar5000 6 месяцев назад

Yeah, right there. You kinda breezed over how you preload, and how you determine spring back. When I'm bending Al tubing, there's an "easy 0°", then there's "take the slack out 0°", and lastly "somewhere north of 0° but still in the spring back region (2-4°). True 0° is somewhere in there. I'm trying to figure out how to set the angle guage to 0° reliably each time I setup my bender.

@ypaulbrown 6 месяцев назад

hi AR5000, if you are using bending schedule 40 Aluminum, you are bend Pipe and not Tubing..... there is a difference in the dies......but I have found, that I can use a 1 1/2 inch tubing die, to bend 1 inch schedule 40 6061 T6 aluminum and get a good result.....the OD on 1 " pipe is 1.333 or so.... I am using a Hossfeld, which I think is harder to use for these type bends. anyway, enjoyed your comment..... Paul down in Florida......

@mrmidnight32 Год назад

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

@guzzifabrication3448 Год назад

I really wanted the JD squared but at the time they were back ordered

@mrmidnight32 Год назад

@@guzzifabrication3448 same with JD. Same rating as the Eastwood for $150 more and the dies from JD are WAY more expensive. I wanted a JD as wel but when it does the same job as something less expensive it’s hard to justify. And they all are a copied design off the Hossfield bender that lost its patent long ago and went into open production.

@guzzifabrication3448 Год назад

@@mrmidnight32 I really wasn't impressed with the quality of the trick tools dies they don't leave marks on the stock.... but the finish out quality on the dies is terrible in my opinion. Yeah I'm really happy with the Bender but you're right why pay more when you don't have to.... I'm All About cost-effectiveness

@UAEE-SPRING-MACHINE Год назад

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

@guzzifabrication3448 2 года назад

That's a harbor freight band saw, really like it

@jamesbond2472 2 года назад

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..

@guzzifabrication3448 2 года назад

You get a certain amount of deformation with stainless.... not so much when using steel

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

@guzzifabrication3448 10 месяцев назад

I really don't have any experience in bending copper, I seems a conduit hand bender may work for copper. If you try it let me know how it works.

@GotScout Год назад

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?

@guzzifabrication3448 Год назад

THanks for watching, the focus of this video is fabricating a radius gauge 1. for accuracy 2. zero material waste. To your question you could but then there would be an amount of guessing.

@fredschuttenbeld4571 3 месяца назад

@guzzifabrication3448 you say for zero waste, but if you make just a one of piece, now you already wasted a piece of tubing as a gauge. Also without a sample piece you still need to measure (and log) the distance of the x,y axis (to accommodate the stretch of the bend) for your initial bend. For this you may leave 1 or a couple inches extra on the end of the tube and cut it off after and thus not wasting 17 inches.

@GotScout Год назад

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

@guzzifabrication3448 Год назад

I'm using stainless tubing, if it were steel there would be less defgormation. Thanks !

Yes the follower is marked... however the follower is multi-directional, up or down is of no consequence and does not effect the bend. Thanks for watching !

Maybe some of us do know the math and theory but are wise enough to know that the real world introduces error that is more difficult to correct for compared to...wait for it... A radius gauge.

Where's your free video on youtube trying to help people? I looked but I couldn't find one.... It's always easy to spot people with little experience like yourself.

@patriciabizich6950 Год назад

You lost me when you started using an already fabricated frame for references to start marks. You are using a known finished product to find your bend starting point. I don't have that luxury. Doesn't any one know how to calculate begining cuts to bends and material needed without cheaters ?

@guzzifabrication3448 Год назад

You could always just guess at how to achieve accurate bends....
