(((( THIS IS NOT A THROW-AWAY MACHINE ))))
MANY PEOPLE ASK IF THIS WILL BEND 1 TO 3 INCH PIPE FOR ROLL-CAGES ? THE ANSWER IS NO,,, IT IS NOT A PIPE BENDER ! ,,,,, IT IS FOR MAKING A STANDARD,,, OR A VERY UNIQUE PART, ONCE YOU HAVE SET IT UP TO MAKE ONE PART, YOU CAN DUPLICATE THAT PART OVER AND OVER (WITH THE SAME RESULTS EACH TIME) IT CAN BE USED AT HOME , IN THE SHOP, ON THE FARM OR IN MANUFACTURING. YOU CAN MAKE BRACKETS, HANDLES, AND CUSTOM LETTERS FOR WALL SIGNS, YOU NAME IT,,, WITH A LITTLE PRACTICE,,,, IT HAS ABSOLUTELY ENDLESS USE'S,,,, AND IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST IN WELDING AND SMALL FABRICATION SHOPS !
THIS BENDER IS ALL "HEAVY STEEL"
SO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF METAL YOU CAN BEND WITH THIS THING NOW RIGHT !,,,,,,,,, WELL THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT SIZES OF METALS OUT THERE SO I'M ONLY GOING TO NAME A FEW,,,,, BUT THE LARGEST SIZE OF EACH,,,, WILL BE THE "MAXIMUM" OF THAT SIZE STEEL YOU CAN BEND WITH IT !
LETS GO FOR (Hot Rolled Rounds) "SOLID ROUNDS" 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, & 5/8 INCH (5/8 BEING THE "MAX" ROUND CAPACITY)
HOW ABOUT (Hot Rolled Squares) "SOLID SQUARE" 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, & 5/8 INCH.
WHAT ABOUT (Hot Rolled Strap A.K.A Strip)
WELL,,, ON STRAP IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE ON THE THICKNESS YOU ARE BENDING AS TO WHAT YOU CAN BEND. TAKE FOR INSTANCE THAT THE MACHINE WILL BEND ALL OF THESE WIDTHS : 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 1-1/4, 1-1/2 1-3/4 AND 2 INCH (IT WILL ALSO BEND ANY SIZES IN-BETWEEN THOSE, SUCH AS 1-1/8, 1-3/16 ETC.....) BUT HERE IS THE CATCH ! WHEN SAY, YOU ARE BENDING A 1-1/4 INCH STRAP, YOU CAN BEND UP TO 5/16 THICK,,, AND ANY THICKNESS UNDER THAT,,,,, 5/16 THICK IS THE MAX YOU CAN BEND IN 1-1/4 STRAP.... THE WIDER THE STRAP,,,,,, THE LESS THE THICKNESS YOU CAN BEND,,,,,, IF YOU TAKE A 2 INCH STRAP FOR INSTANCE (THE MAX THICKNESS YOU CAN BEND WILL BE 1/4 INCH)
LETS FACE IT,,,,,, EVERY GUY OUT THERE WILL BE USING THIS MACHINE FOR BENDING SOMETHING DIFFERENT THEN THE NEXT GUY !
SO THERE ARE NO REAL LAWS TO FOLLOW...... ****** EXCEPT THIS ONE****** IF YOU ARE TRYING TO BEND A PIECE OF STEEL, AND YOU HAD TO PUT AN EXTENSION PIPE ON THE HANDLE,,,,,,, OR YOU ARE BENDING THE HANDLE LIKE A FISHING POLE ! YOUR SCREW'N UP ! YOU NEEDED A 50 TON PRESS NOT ONE OF THESE !
