THE NEXT FEW PAGES WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO A TEST BEND AND HOW TO INTERPRET THE
INFORMATION SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE ACCURATE BENDS.
NOTE: FOR SAFETY’S SAKE WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU BOLT THE BENDER TO THE FLOOR
OR WORKBENCH BEFORE STARTING ANY BENDS.
STEP 1
THE TUBING FOR OUR TEST IS 1 3/4” x 36” LONG. ONLY ONE PIECE IS NECESSARY TO GIVE YOU ALL
THE INFORMATION YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE ACCURATE BENDS. IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP A
NOTEBOOK TO LOG YOUR INFORMATION ON THE TEST BEND. IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO RUN THE
SAME TEST FOR EACH SIZE TUBING YOU PLAN TO BEND.
NOTE: EACH SIZE OF TUBING BENDS AND STRETCHES AND USES A DIFFERENT AMOUNT
OF TUBING IN THE BEND, SO IT WILL BE IMPORTANT TO LOG THE RESULTS FROM EACH
TEST.
TAKE THE 36” PIECE OF TUBING & MEASURE FROM YOUR RIGHT BACK TO YOUR LEFT EXACTLY
12” & 24” AS SHOWN SO THERE WILL BE NO MISTAKING WHICH END IS WHICH AFTER YOU MAKE
THE BEND.
