BTW,My company applies a textured carbide coating to tube bending dies that stops the slippage that usually occurs during the initial bending process. This gives a more accurate bend placement and sometimes stops the breakage problem that occured in the above mentioned pic. I can't answer how or why. This is just the reports that I get back from customers. We do a lot of work for guys that bend a lot of chromoly as it tends to have more slippage problems. We also coat a lot of mandrel style bending dies.I don't want this to sound like an advertisement so I'll stop now. Bottom line is that if you are having any slippage issues, we can usually help.Rob
I have to agree while I don't have alot of tube bending experience I'm very pleased with my RDB-50. I have bent a total of about 8 bars now and only messed up one(totally operator error). That's not to bad considering the lack of talent by the operator.
Okay -- I need a helper. We're in the process of sourcing parts for a new exhaust system for my pickup -- and the missing piece now is an elbow in 4" tube. No, I don't have the dimensions -- but will as soon as I visit the shop. Anybody got some pipe that'll work for my exhaust? Thanks in advance.
