Hi all,
I'm investigating buying a tubing bender. Eventually I'll want to bend tubing for a car chassis, but currently I have a need to do some decorative type bending of square and round tubing.
I know that the Hossfield and its knockoffs will do a good job for the chassis tubes, but I'm wondering if they can do increasing or decreasing radius bends for the decorative stuff. I'm thinking that I could make a series of low angle bends, each one with a larger or smaller radius than the bend previous to "simulate" a long variable radius bend. Can the Hossfield type benders do this? The info I can glean from the various sites I've visited, makes me suspect that these benders can't, but since I've never used a tubing bender before, I could easily be wrong. Can someone enlighten me?
Thanks,
Peter
