ok so lets say you wanna bend 2 inch "OD" tube .120 wall well heres how to do it on the stupid crap "HF bender" i got the 2 inch pipe die is 2-3/8 "OD" so here we go all i had to do was take a piece of 2 inch pipe = 2-3/8 "OD" stainless is best ok so then you use a chop saw and take a 6 inch piece of pipe thats what i used anyway start cutting it into 1/4 piece so you have 24 pieces of pipe 1/4 inch wide now all you do is place the rings on your tube to bend about 1/4 or maybe 1/8 apart so they sit in the die at the bend point and you now can make bends as good as any bender on the market a little more work but um in canada your american tube benders cost you 279$ and cost us 3000$ for a JD2 so at that price you make things work right here any questions email me " snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com" my name is nathan
