Title: Picked up a tubing bender.
Post by: Matt on March 02, 2008, 09:32:38 PM

I finally picked up a tubing bender and will be getting a new gas fed mig this weekend. I will hopefully be starting on a set of tube fenders in a couple weeks.

I looked at one before, and the tube die (since they are made to bend pipe) for those things are almost as much as a nice bender, just something to think about.

On a side note, have you gotten the locker and/or pins yet?

Got the locker. Hopefully my pins should be in this week. I really need them before saturday if I want it in before aetna.

I was looking at that bender online last night.  Curious to see how well it works for you.

I have one of those benders.  Just be carful when bending over 60deg as it will start to screw with you.  Also make sure you use schedule 40 pipe and not tubing because it will not bend tubing well at all.

After tube fenders for the TJ, a bumper and tube doors for the Ranger.. we could probably pencil you in somewhere after that.   ;)
