Cut a 2” long piece of pipe, then halve it lengthwise. Put the two pieces on top of the pipe you’re bending, under the rollers. They’ll conform to the pipe you’re bending and will prevent the dimpling from the rollers.
I really do believe that your stiffener is as strong as others and much easier to make than those I've ever seen so far on U-tube. Not to mention cheaper!
Damn dude looks really nice!
I remember hearing on someone else's channel that if you use a smaller die you won't get a flattened bend. Might be worth trying with a 7/8" die and a 1" scrap pipe.
Another great job... Very well explained too. Subbed mang!!!
Thanks. Appreciate it.
I used that same tool to build my rock buggy. You find out rite quick who your friends are when you bend up 260 feet of pipe. Like 50 pumps of that little handle for a 1/4 inch of bend on 1 1/4 .40 pipe. Those sliders look great
Thanks man. I have never used it with a very thick material. I'm sure it's a nightmare
Back in the late 90s there was a company called McMillan hydraulic. They had a electric hydraulic assist tube bender. A floor model size of a shoebox . It came with computer software with 900 bends it shows how and where to mark the pipes does all your take off measurement for multiple bends . It was the coolest thing ever for 795.00 . I wish they we still in business. It would be great to have for an exocage.
You can also cap of the ends and fill it with sand. The sand keeps the pipe from collapsing
I have heard of this technique but never tried it.
Those things look Sweeeet. Shane P.
Where does the bender pinch the pipe when you go to much? Right in the centre of the bend or more towards the longer end? I noticed your long end of the pipe is touching the concrete floor on the second last bend and could be causing a fulcrum at the top roller, could that be what is causing the pinch?
It very well could be. I think it tends to pinch the pipe I think because of the design. Its applying pressure really only on the center of the dye. And it dents the pipe on the rollers but that may be because it's pretty thin material
For better bending results heat up the apex of the bend. You won't get flat shots at the end of your pipe. Once bend is made have five gallon bucket of water ready to dunk to freshly heated pipe into to restore strength.
That's a great tip. I will have to try that next time I'm using that bender
@@MuddyBeards4X4 I used to make a lot of handrails for local 5 ironworkers. Same type of pipe.
How hot? I am going to be doing this, I am guessing a propane handheld torch won't heat it enough?
I'm pretty sure I just bought ur old set up from my buddy jeph
Installing them sumtime it's week
Right on. I hope they work out for you.
I may be wrong but those braces underneath seem like could go in the opening then get you stock by hitting that brace. I would cover all with one solid piece
sorry " a rock could go in between the braces"
I thought about making it a boatside. But I have done quite a bit of rock crawling and havent had any issues yet
@@MuddyBeards4X4 ok I havent done any heavy wheeling just looked like a snag point.plus the boat side would look cool I think lol
Nice job.What welder are you using?
Its a Hobart 190
Did you make your radius arm set up?
Yes. I used Barnes joints and built a cross member out of 2x4
Where did you get the pipe?
