    Default Tubing bender.

    Is there anyone that is within a reasonable drive from rochester that could bend a 1" dom round tube for me, it's 1/8" wall. I just need two 90degree bends made. I have the tube and am willing to pay. Or if u know of a shop that may do it on the spot. Thanks.

    Let me know if you find one close. I'm in your neighborhood and may need some custom pipe work soon.

    Rieters metalcraft should be able to do it. (Mt Clemens)
    I used to be 'with it'. Then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm 'with' isn't 'it', and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me.......

    I cant bend 1 inch but if you need larger let me know I dont have dies below 2 inch
    To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

    I will need 2" and bigger at some point so thanks. If I don't find something sooner I will call Rieters Metalcraft this week. Just trying to make a lower radiator support and 1" is perfect. Thanks again

    bending 2 inch 1/4 at 90 degress is pretty much impossible the weld will split
