Ok So I am a little slow. I have a tube bender. (gotta buy all the fun tools). Anyway how do you bend the tube/pipe without it folding in and crimping. I have filled them with sand and that works but it really sucks.:confused: :confused:

You don't have a tube bender. You have a pipe bender. That's why it's kinking your tube.

Do a search on tube bender, it's been covered lately.

Pipe benders suck!!!! shell out the cash and get a tube bender. You will save the money in tubes you use later

Die's are an additional cost!:skull:

It says it bends up to 2 inch diameter tubing. What size are standard roll cages made from like the ones MORE and TOR sell?

I was think of just getting
10-2043 M3B Round Tube Die Set - 1 1/2" (4.5-90) .095" $145.00

hot rolled, weld seamed 1 1/2" OD (.120 wall) stock is enough for my needs.

DO NOT BUY 90* BITS!!!!!!

You'll regret it later!... for a little more, buy the 180* bit....

I had notice that I pasted the 90* die...
Bender is right go with the 180* die!!!

Here is another option for $275.00:
