Pipe bending
I have a hydraulic pipe bender, but as with this , I dont think it will bend thin walled tubing without deforming it.
handy for roll bars and chassis tubes etc.
Looks good though

They don't look Locost though.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I tried bending some 50mm tube with 2mm wall in one of those hydraulic benders a while ago and it didnt work, it just folded. Whats the secret?

Thin wall requires a proper die and follower to prevent the tube collapsing.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

I imported one of these, works brilliantly, bends the thin stuff as well, I call 1.6mm wll thickness thin stuff, it may bend lighter stuff but
I've never tried it

A lot cheaper than the rachet type , but still expensive by the time, you get a selection of dies, shipping and of course the greedy goverment adds
another 25%

To bend thin wall tubing without reducing the ID requires a mandrel bender or the the ability to sand bend.

Tell them about the bent treacle edges!
