Bending 1" Tube/Pipe

[BigBody79]

I'm looking to build a few small projects based off of 1" to 1.25" tube/pipe.

Would like to get into a bender/notcher. I don't think I need to go all the way to a pro tools 105/JD^2.

Any advice or opinions.

Harbor Freight. I have one.

12 Ton Hydraulic Pipe Bender

Thought that was called the tube linker? Work ok for you?

It is a pipe bender, not a tubing bender. I've had good luck bending pipe with it.

Any idea on what radius and degree you'll need? A quality die is pretty damn pricey even if you already have the bender itself.
