Topic: new tubing bender bending .058 wall

Is it just my eyes, or just a trick of the light, but that doesn't look like a smooth, uniform bend Don?

It's the light, my picky friend that builds NHRA pro stocks and pro mods approved of the bends. I sprayed oil all over everything and it's an old piece of tube shiney here and there.

That's good to know Don, as I'd like to build one of those benders too. Cheers, Terry.

Here are the blueprints I used.  Be warned, on the main frame and the swinging frame the c-c distance between the holes is incorrect. It shows 1 1/16" it is really closer to 1.1" From the center pin to the #5  25/32 hole should be 6 5/8" the print adds up to 6 3/8"
 Who knows what else might be incorrect. Repeated attempts to contact him have failed.
