Default Tube benders & dies

I wil lbe getting another die for my 1:1 tube bender. So I'll have 3/4"x 2.25"R, 1"x 3"R, 1.5"x 4.5"R. I also have access to 1.75"x 5.5" R round tube dies. I use a JD2 model 3 manuel bender. As soon as I get an extra $1000 It'll be hydro. but thats down the line.

if anyone has questions about bending or wants to know about the machine let me know

nope.. pipe is bigger than tubing... if you bend 1 1/2" pipe, you would need a 1 3/4" die..then it still is slopping and you would crease the pipe.. they make pipe dies

Pipe is meassured by the Inside Diameter, 1.25 SCDL 40 is 1.66" outside and 1.5 SCDL 40 is 1.9" outside...So you cant use tube dies...
