STEP 2 TAKE THE 36” LONG PIECE OF TUBING AND MEASURE EXACTLY 12” FROM THE LEFT TO
RIGHT. THEN MARK THE TUBE IN THE BENDER AND POSITION THE EDGE OF THE DIE
EXACTLY IN THE CENTER OF THE MARK, AS SHOWN IN THE EXAMPLE. THEN MAKE A 90
DEGREE BEND. USE A CARPENTER’S SQUARE TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PERFECT 90
DEGREE BEND. IF YOU OVERBEND, SIMPLY PLACE THE TUBE IN A VISE AND PULL IT BACK
TO 90 DEGREES. IF IT IS NOT BENT ENOUGH, PUT THE TUBE BACK IN THE BENDER AND
FINISH THE BEND. IMPORTANT: WITH YOUR TUBE BENT TO 90 DEGREES, BUT STILL IN THE
BENDER, CHECK TO SEE IF THE EDGE OF THE DIE IS STILL LINED UP WITH YOUR MARK. IF IT
IS, YOUR OK, IF NOT IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO CUT ANOTHER PIECE OF TUBING AND
REPEAT THE TEST. THE MARK MUST BE LINED UP WITH THE DIE IN ORDER FOR YOU TO
GET ACCURATE INFORMATION ON YOUR TEST.
STEP 3 IN STEP 3 WE HAVE FINISHED THE BEND AND TAKEN A MEASUREMENT BY PLACING A
CARPENTER’S SQUARE AGAINST THE BACK OF THE TUBING THEN RUNNING OUR RULER
FROM THE SQUARE TO EACH END OF THE TUBING. IN THIS EXAMPLE WE ARE USING 1 1/2”
TUBING AND A 6” RADIUS DIE. WE SEE THE SIDE WITH OUR 12” MARK IS NOT 20” LONG, AND
THE 24” SIDE IS 20 1/2” LONG. WE HAVE GAINED 8” ON THE 12” SIDE AND LOST 3 1/2”
ON THE 24” SIDE. IN THE NEXT FEW STEPS WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO APPLY THIS
KNOWLEDGE TO YOUR PROJECT.
