Does this machine maintain the cylindrical shape of the tube after completing the bend? I am interested in making Light Guards, Roll Bars and Brush Guards. I just do not want to invest in something that smashes or kinks the tube.
@13098519 As long as you use the correct size die for the material you are bending (and make sure you use tube dies with tubing and pipe dies for pipe), yes - it will bend the material without crushing or kinking it.
@BillaVista - Sorry to sound so novice, but how do you determine pipe from tube (is a pipe solid and tube hollow)? And if its not too much trouble where would you recommend buying this tool at?
@13098519 Round steel mechanical tubing is NORMALLY ordered and supplied based on a specified OD and wall thickness. The ID is the result of these former 2 specs. There are however some exceptions to this - most notably in true seamless tubing. It is normally intended to be used for mechanical purposes (i.e. building things).
Pipe is ordered and supplied based on a specified nominal ID and a wall thickness that is usually specified as a "schedule" e.g. schedule 40 pipe indicates a certain wall thickness) . It is most often intended to be used to convey liquids and gasses, but as long as the correct material and grade are used, it is perfectly acceptable to use pipe to build structures as well (many bridges and other structures do so).
@BillaVista Would you please upload a video showing some back to back offsets? what's the minimum distance center to center when you have a 90-90, 45-45, 30-30? Thanks. Let's say 3/4" and

@kyblacksmith Max capacities are:
2.5" Round Tube (.120" wall)
2" Square Tube (.120" wall)
2" Sch. 40 Pipe.
Yes it will do square with the right dies.

Nice instructional video learned a lot, he should have statde the thickness of the pipe to give the viewer an idea of the strength of the bender.
