Tube Bending - Fabrication Series: 04

[@toddoverby5538]

Tim, I said it before and I will say it again. I wish we were neighbors. I have been preaching Made in USA for the last 35 years. It matters people. Thanks for the content. I know you don't need to be doing these videos. I really appreciate it. And no BS.

[@davidbranham9268]

Could you do a video on bending 2 inch tube and talk about how you calculate what length to cut before you bend also what large bender you prefer and how to use it. Thanks again for all of the videos!

[@zmotorsports62]

Another great video. I have the same Rigid benders for 3/16”, 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” and have used them for years. Nowhere near as much as you I’m sure as I’m only a small father & son shop but they have worked and held up well. Keep the videos coming, I’m really enjoying them. Thanks for making this video series. Mike

Billy's fucking exhaust gas coming in the shop.. that's the lesson for the day.

[@jaysfasttoys]

Nice, appreciate the videos Tim

[@jerrycoon4504]

Great videos. I was watching the drag race in Las Vegas over the weekend and the 69 camaro in your build series won his class.Bud Preuss is his name I think...

[@1quickchevy2]

Swagelok are my favourite benders, pretty similar to the "hd" rigid ones. However they are probably made overseas as well, since I can't find anything on where they are manufactured. Thanks for doing this series, it's great.

[@patw52pb1]

They are manufactured offshore.

[@obi-shankenobi5891]

Been looking for a new fab series. Your content is excellent

[@michaelpukmel4776]

Thanks, great video.

[@wurstbroto]

Very helpful, thank you for this education.

[@charlesgrist8915]

I have a old robinair tube bender that i really like it does 1/4 to 3/8 tubing its a ratchet type you can do up to a 180 degree bend in a short span 2&1/2 or larger

[@iam106racing2]

Tim is a true tradesman lol. If you can't see it he definitely speaks it lol

[@chloehennessey6813]

Do you offer a summer intern type position? For high school students or college engineering students Mr McAmis? I’ll be a freshman next year and I would really enjoy a summer of learning from you and your technicians.

[@crazyrat51]

Imperial Eastman benders Chicago, IL. USA. At least mine all are USA made...1/4" to 1/2"....BTW, Love the videos, very informative and ...funny too! Thanks!

[@patw52pb1]

Not new units. They still have US Patent numbers, but are manufactured offshore.

[@balacustoms1282]

Will the 1/2" version bend solid round bar well?

[@dirkdiggler4843]

Are there any good manual tubing benders for larger stuff? Like 1.5” or 1.75” tube. I’ve looked at a bunch. But they all look really gimmicky.

[@danielscott6787]

When connecting various tubing. Do you ever use a Swadge connection??

[@patw52pb1]

Usually not on any tube requiring structural strength.

[@toddweiler9389]

I prefer to use, and I own 2 different size Swagelok hand-held roller benders (1/4" and 3/8"). Along with Swagelok benders, I use the best tube bending book available. It is called Tube Bending Simplified! Information about that book can be found at kzbin.info Once you own a copy of that book, you will wonder how you ever managed to bend tube without it!

[@jacquesstanz9235]

Hi tim,im pity shure u can design a hand bender,if there's a market for an anerican made bender then u can make a good bender,we al know that "made in america"is the best😁

[@mclarpet]

I bet that the Ridgid benders are designed in the USA.

[@peterroberts4555]

Di-acro model 4 look it up won't be disappointed

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

You can’t tell me Snap on or Blue point doesn’t make hand benders.

[@peterroberts4555]

It's not tube it is pipe. Square pipe is "Tube" you should know this when ordering it usually pipe has an ID or internal dimension when tube has an od or over dimension

[@LadyBovine]

Maybe be right when you lecture someone. Tubing is structural, measured in OD and wall thickness, and in no world has to be square.

[@chloehennessey6813]

I ask because my dad does a different type of fabrication and automotive stuff.

[@4130ChassisWerks]

imperial-tools.com makes hand benders mad in the USA, your welcome

[@rubioelectric3030]

Swagelok makes far superior benders than rigid. I bend all my tubing with them from 1/4" to 1/2" for for thicker tubing they have electric benders and manual bench top benders.

[@chriswoods2263]

Funny him saying ridgid crap , Ridgid brand tools are manufactured in Elyria, Ohio.

[@SealofPerfection]

Not all of it. The bender he showed us is made in China.

[@fredericrike5974]

Some assembly is still done, as well as world wide offices. When Emerson Electric bought it out most of the real production off shored over the next few years. Most of the quality is still good, but my soul screams; a huge percentage of plumber's tools, from iron and aluminum pipe wrenches to power threaders and other complex tools are sourced from Rigid. My uncle gave me a 40 year old 36" pipe wrench from Rigid; it's almost three pounds heavier than the two year old one I recently bought. Which one will still be a tool in another 40 years?

[@yamama8888888]

Lol, I can't find USA bender but this crap does the job nicely. Basically, it's made in China n for the PRICE Tim couldn't find anything better. Havn't we all been there

[@roadtoad7704]

A friend told me, before watching Tim's channel, he thought Pornhub was the best 🙄

[@LadyBovine]

So they work great and hold up. But they are crap.

[@zardow365]

Why you curse in all your videos ?
