can it bend .250 dom?

It will work alright for pipe, but I wouldn't recommend trying to use it for tube. Most people on here will not recommend it from what I have read. Do a search for the Harbor Freight pipe bender or Harbor Freight tube bender.

It might, but you run a high chance of kinking your tube. Pipe is measured by the ID while DOM tubing is measured by the OD. For example, 1" pipe has a larger OD than 1" DOM.

can it bend .250 dom? no

[SBChero]

no
funny, i bent some 2" .25 wall w/ mine.

if you machine the dies to fit tube it can work ok on thicker wall tube.

ive posted pics in tons of these threads for the hk bender. do a search in the tool section for some of them.
