[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 393593, member: 13534"] Hi All, Funny enough i did make a hydraulic bender many years ago!! Not got it now, but someone came me one like in the picture a while back. They are ok ish, but you will not be making 90 degree bends with one, apart from in the smallest size, 1/2 NB as the formers do not permit that. My Record bender has got the formers for 15, 16, 20, 22, 25, 28, 32 and 42mm It will do 180 degree bends if you want too!! plus bend up or down.. Eh?? Say you wanted to do a 90 degree bend to give a straight bit a foot long, then another one. [bend] You could not as the first bit would hit the bender legs. Ok reverse it and bend it upwards!!! I will post a photo of my first project with it. I have a generator here, but the steel "cube" frame it is in has seen better days. I am going to bend one up [a new one] from one single full length of tube so it only has one weld in the centre of one side! john.. [/QUOTE]
