I'm after a bender, nothing big, just to bend small rhs and tube
What happens is that the tube or pipe will tend or will spread or flatten in the bend. This may not be a problem for you depending on what your application is. If its just a bend thats rough enough so be it. Me I have both tube ranging from one eight of an inch to inch and a half and pipe from one quarter to two and a half inch. I also have a few odd metric sizes. Back in the day my job required accurate no crush forms.
yeah, all good, I just need to bend stuff, so doesn't sound a like a problem for me.
I have so much respect for folks who work with metal as a trade, there are so many great skills that you guys pick up, improve upon and openly share. I say metal, coz I way prefer working with steel rather than wood. I reckon it goes back to early school days when I was absolutely crap at woodwork, but just crap at metal work, so I guess I have a leaning towards steel work coz of that.
But hey, wood guys are just as great, there is certainly no doubt, I have as much respect those guys as well. I work much more with steel, so it's probably more front of my mind.
Have you seen those T shirts around at the moment? Shows a guy doing some stick welding and the slogan is " I say to myself, what a wonderful weld" pretty funny I reckon.
