Im needing a small die to build a tube rack for a ATV and over head prtection like the Yamahas have: http://www.yamaha-motor.com/products/unitimage/12/sxs/36/318/0/6337/yamaha_rhino_660_auto_4x4.aspx

If I get a 1" Die... what is a good all around CLR , and 180* or 120* ?

Id like to use this later of for handles and what not on other projects, just not sure if 1" is the perfect one for me...

Tighter radius will generally be most desired. And don't skimp, go 240 degrees. Never know what projects will come up. I payed the price for skimping on my first die set :rolleyes: Now all of my dies are 240.

So tighter the Die the better.... Cool.

It i was buying a 1" die id buy the 3"CLR 240*

The tighter the CLR the easyer it is to match your bends to tight corners...
