how would you go about bending 2inch od Pipe for a 15inch radius? I just dident know if anybody made dies that big and If so if they will fit on any benders

I supose you could make a wood radius jig, clamp one end, heat the pipe where you will be bending it and bend it around the wood
should work

I don't know where to find a big enough one, but this is what I use for stuff like that...

It would take a little time, but a lot less than building a jig. Of course if you can't find one.....

later :jeep:
