When bending 2" .120 wall DOM to 90 degrees @ a 6" CLR, what kind of springback can I expect? This is most likely the thickest and heaviest tubing I will be bending, I assume the larger the diameter, and the thicker the wall, the more it will spring back, am I correct?
I am laying out my bender and trying to get 90 degree bends in one shot. Right now I can get ~ 97 degrees out of my arm. Is 7 degrees going to be enough? Or should I try to move the ram to get even more travel?
BTW, I started with the Gottrikes plans, but I am using a 2.5" 24" travel Cylinder instead of the engine hoist jack. I extended the uprights to 46", and am adjusting the lower mounting point to compensate for the length of the cylinder.
