HF Pipe Benders

Thank you,

I have not tried it with smaller diameter stuff

If I got one it would be for bending galvanized (water) and black pipe. I would use it in making braces, brackets, cow stall dividers, calf pen dividers, etc. I would likely also do a little exhaust work. It would not have to do a beautiful job, but the end result would have to be functional, strong, and hopefully look OK?

Jose doesn't sound too impressed.

Do you think it would be satisfactory for my purposes?

Thanks,

Like jose says, it probably WILL bend the tubing but it'll likely collapse the tubing a bit...not the best thing if you're wanting a good flowing exhaust system. Try it on a scrap peice of exhaust tubing first and see how it goes.. One old trick for bending tubing without it collapsing that might work in this application, is before bending, cap one end of the tubing and fill it tightly with salt or sand, then weld a cap on the other end too. That way you can bend it and the sand will keep the walls from collapsing. After bending, of course, just cut the caps off.
