Harbor freight tubing roller - rolling 1" sqaure tubing - bending tubing and dies

harbor freight tubing roller. rolling 1" sqaure tubing. i just machined the 1/2" sqaure dies that harbor freight sells. my tools are in a storage unit, my wife and i are in the middle of moving.

I talked to a blacksmith about this bender. He said a real easy and VERY cheap way to make square dies for this bender is simply obtain steel doweling of the correct minimum diameter, drill the shaft hole on the lathe and then cutout the recesses for the bearings. To make this into a square die of almost any size just attach collars at the desired width. the limit,of course, being the inside clearance of the machine.

Chumly rick called and said get back to the pawn shop and stop making videos

[@desertvs]

You could also machine multiple half round grooves for smaller rod. I like how you are thinking!

[@luisgarcia-og7rp]

JUST SAW THIS VIDEO, THE DICES BEEN DISCONTINUED😡 CAN YOU HELP ME TO FIND A SET THAT FITS THE SAME BENDER? NEED THE 1''..ANYONE?

[@SVSeeker]

Thanks! I thought they stopped selling these and make a set for flat bar by using pipe sleeves. Our local store didn't know what I was talking about until I was able to give them the part number. :)

Setting up shop in your storage unit. Savage.

[@TheHUNTERTIM]

Did you ever think about putting a speed controlled motor on that thing I was thinking of getting one and that's what I want to do.

[@nixic_]

We welded a nut to ours and use a handheld motorized pipe threader to power it lol

[@kevinbrown1629]

What is the widest you could go? Is it possible to machine a set of rollers that could bend 3.5 inch flat stock? Not very thick, maybe 3/16 or so.

[@gijigadget]

Looks like you have a nice shop.

[@bikerpap1969]

good idea ill just make the dyes from 3 inch stock on my lathe

[@arcturusbbqsausagemaking2435]

All roller benders have that kink in it ,You roll it until the radius you want than cut the kinks out ...Great job

[@southernshop8424]

Arcturus Welding & Fabrication if you are rolling a ring, tack the ends together while still in the roller and roll the flat out

[@fishhuntadventure]

@@southernshop8424 Yup. Or plan ahead and under-roll slightly (deeper dies for more wall support helps, too) and then just roll the ends last and the ‘dent’ opposite the stretched side magically disappears.

where can i buy these dies thanks

[@goingbonzo5923]

I like it. That stand is pretty sweet as well. I was thinking about making one to mount to my truck reciever.

[@guspompa3283]

[@krpelkey]

whats. being a welder got to do with being a machinest.there not even in the same trade area

[@doctorwelded1573]

Great hey thanks a lot! Very helpful , A+ video

[@elijahcbr6009]

What's the wall thickness on that tube?

[@fishhuntadventure]

In the video he said 0625🤷‍♂️

[@XoskelOffroad]

I did the same exact thing, also bought a second roller and machined the redundant round dies to sizes I did not have.

[@rickb.8028]

I tried a couple of machine shops to see how much they would charge to lathe the 1/2" into 1 or 2". They wanted $200.00 per set so it would have cost me $250.00 per set. Swag sells them in sets for $199.00. I guess it all about who you know.

[@redneckswitwheels]

Rick B. i will do them for 60. contact me

[@lucinocallemyrosales3554]
