That's really neat. I wish I could just afford a pneaumatic/hydraulic bender. But that would suffice I suppose lol

here is a design i plan on working off with one of my 2 ton car jacks, the one in picture is a 12 ton so i will need more leverage and will have to return the piston 1 or 2 times and reconnect to get the bend he gets in one stroke. going to make a trip to princess auto today and see what they have for pulleys

 

[OzFab]

I've seen those, they work well. I thought about makin one but the dyes are really expensive

 

[greengoblin]

yeah like 250$. couldint find any pulleys that would work on 1" or bigger so im going to make something similar to below. I will have to make tons of pie cuts since i cant bend half a tube like that.

Yeah, a bit of a catch 22 there huh; you need a pipe bender to make the pipe bender
