I did not know the difference between pipe and tubing...glad I could learn something today

Awesome video sir. I have a little experience bending exhaust tubing not much. Thanks for the info.

. I'm in the process of building floor model bender. The design is pretty common but I'm making some changes. I found a 120° 1 5/8 Woodward Fab knock-off die set for $111 and using $90 air over hydraulic ram that I purchased from Vevor. I figured by the time all is said and done I'll have $500 into it. Subscribed to your channel. Going to see what other videos you have now. Thanks.

Awesome! Welcome aboard!

​@@mountainsgarageany idea on minimum wall thickness that will work for 1 5/8 tube on a bender ike this? I'd like to use HREW tube for gocart frames or custom bicycles. HREW seems to be the cheapest option that would work for my needs, but still kinda pricey. Any advice?

I've got the Woodward Fab unit with the swag air over hydraulic adapter. I believe you will love the new bender. Mine works flawless and is extremely repeatable with the degree wheel and pointer.

Nice! I am excited to try it!

One thing you didn't touch on was the difference in benders such as , compression bender and mandrel bender. I'm not really sure myself about the mandrel bender, but I think what you have is called a compression bender. Mandrel sounds expensive though.

I got my JD2 bender off marketplace for 250 with a 1 5/8 die and I've never had a bender but was going to buy that affordable bender before I for it. Don't get me wrong you do need to have the jd2 bolted to something if your not converting it to air/hydraulic ram from harbor freight, its really not that bad to pull on I've seent all kinds of pictures of them benders bolted to engine stands DIY carts and what'nots..

[@mountainsgarage]

Good info! And you got a great deal!

[@rickroberts4848]

Great video! I see eastwood and other knock off versions of the Affordable. But maybe ill look into the jd2. I also dont want to take up alot of room either.

Sorry it is JMR Manufacturing not JRM!!

I love how you explain things! Seems like I learn something new every time! Thank you sir! I heard of some people packing their material with sand/glass beads which keeps it from deformity as easily.. Thoughts?

[@mountainsgarage]

That sounds interesting, I will research that! Thanks!

I don't know how to feel about watching a guy stroke a pipe for 30 min ..

[@mountainsgarage]

Funny!
