I have a project where I want to bend 2" square 16 gauge mild steel tubing at a 45 degree angle. I know I can buy a $1000 tube bender and dies to do it (or farm it out), but I am on a budget. I have a 20 ton press though. Is there a die I can build or buy to do this? Anyone have ideas? If it gets slightly wrinkled that's OK.
I could also "V" notch and weld, but I would rather bend it if possible.
Thanks
Don
