Finally there is an affordable solution to bending tube without mounting the bender the ground, buying adapter kits for hydraulic cylinders, or requiring you to rip on a 4 foot bar while you try to read a degree wheel you can’t even reach. Our kit comes with EVERYTHING you need except the air/hydraulic cylinder, which is available nearly everywhere at Harbor Freight for about $80 (without paying shipping). Our Rogue Fab Bender bends vertically to save space in your shop. It can bend the first 90 degrees without pulling any pins or using any ratchet mechanism (then you re-pin to bend more). It is portable! This tool is Made in the U.S.A. out of US made metal/materials and packaged in US made boxes. We back our rock-solid engineering with the fastest shipping and best customer service and tech support in the industry. We will ship your order in 1 business day 99% of the time. Don't take our word on the customer service, call us and see for yourself: 503-389-5413.

Our benders can keep up with your business. We offer our tube benders fully assembled and powder coated (additional cost), and with complete tooling packages and professional 1200+ lb capacity bender carts for large fabrication shops. We also have a 2HP double acting fully engineering electric/hydraulic power system that has 2 adjustable auto stops for precision manufacturing of repeat parts. We get absolutely amazing rates on LTL freight. We would be happy to get your tools palletized and delivered to your loading dock.

Here is our bender on one of our Elite carts with the optional 2HP Electric Hydraulic upgrade and optional 195 degree adjustable Auto Stops (We also have a mount that attaches our VersaNotcher to our carts):


We have 30+ dies that fit this bender. There are many options to allow you to bend 4130 Chromoly, Pre-Polished stainless (including low carbon 316) without a scratch, aluminum, and of course pipe, square tube, DOM, HREW, and solid bar stock.

Here is our tradesman set, $1699 as a weld together kit without the $80 ram, with a range of dies from 1 inch to 2 inch (1/4" sizes). That is a bender AND (5) 180 degree dies for $1699! (2.00x6.00, 1.75x6.0, 1.50x4.5, 1.25x4.5, 1.0x3.5)

Just so you all know, the old thread's title was not responding to editing in the search results and thread listings... so we deleted it and started over.

Here is the Q&A from the other thread:
  • Will the 1.75 die bend .095 wall: Not the 4.5 CLR die. The 6.00 CLR one does.
  • can someone order additional clamps to help keep track of multi-plane bends? YES!
  • Square dies? YES! And we make dies based on demand. Let us know what you want.
  • What is your warranty? We guarantee that the unit will work well/as-described and that you can bend what we advertise with it. No tubing bender lasts forever, and ALL pressure dies are a wearing part like a brake pad on a car. If you wear through a pressure die quicker than you think is fair or bend something, give us a call and we will make it right. We are a good company that stands behind our products.
  • Does it bend .250 wall 1.75 tube? YES! with the HD kit, $49-$65.
  • Bend angle on a single shot? 96 degrees
  • Military discount? Yes, PM us.
  • International shipping? Yes, PM us.

  • Square dies? None yet. Let us know what size you want, we will develop some.
  • What is your warranty? We guarantee that the unit will work well/as-described and that you can bend 1.75x.120 DOM steel tube with it.

If you wear through a pressure die quicker than you think is fair or bend something, give us a call and we will make it right. We are a good company that stands behind our products.
  • Does it bend .250 wall tube? No, and we never intended it to.
  • Bend angle on a single shot? 75-80 degrees
  • Military discount? Yes, PM us.
  • International shipping? Yes, PM us.
That tubing looks pretty thick to me? Is that a pick from a different bender?

The bender worked on 1.75x.095 DOM with the 5.625 CLR die, bent to about 190 degrees. This image captures the distortion at the start of the bend. A longer pressure die should solve this problem. We will update again once we have new parts.

Was that with the 5.625 die?

Nice work from what I can see. Saw the you tube vid also. I'd like to see more pictures of the various pieces of the bender and some more pics of the bender from different angles and positions.
Also, which HF ram are you using?

We're glad you asked. These are coarse 3/8 threads machined over an inch deep in aircraft grade 6061 billet aluminum. They are not as strong as steel, but they are pretty beefy, and there are 20+ full threads that would have to yield and fail. We have tried to strip them with a standard length box wrench (about 6" long), and we couldn't do it. With a ton of use, and too much force, it could be possible to wear them out. There is room for thread inserts to be used for repair in the threaded die, which should last a lifetime.

If one of our loyal customers ever strips one of these out, we will send them another die that has steel thread inserts in it, along with a pre-paid envelope so they can return the damaged unit to us without spending their hard earned money. Hard earned money should be spent on tube, weld wire, and more die sets! This solution should minimize any down time.

We still have to bring in some more parts for testing, it will be a few months. And the bender will be $100+ more with this die set, it is cut from 12" 6061 round... $$$

We're getting questions on die options... here is the current list:

1.00 Tube x4.5 CLR 180+ degree
1.25 Tube x4.5 CLR 180+ degree
1.50 Tube x4.5 CLR 180+ degree
1.25 Pipe (1.660 OD) x4.5 CLR 180+ degree
1.75 Tube x4.5 CLR 180+ degree

these are ALL in stock and ready to ship.

Tested a few more wall thicknesses on the 1.75x4.5 CLR die. From left to right: .120", .188", .250".

The machine bends .188 well, and we are listing that as the maximum capacity for the machine. We bent a pin forming the .250" wall. [[EDIT: .250 wall is no problem now]]

The machine bends .188 well, and we are listing that as the maximum capacity for the machine. We bent a pin forming the .250" wall.

How many total bends were made on that bent pin? How many bends on the
.188 wall and .250 wall respectively before the pin failure. Was there any damage to the bender?

I'm only asking because if it only bent a pin and it was after multiple bends that is not much of a problem. I've bent several pins bending .188 wall with a pro tools HD. It was not until i started going through the bending arms that I got concerned.

The Rogue Alpha tubing bender now comes with americal made heat treated hitch pins with rubberized handles. These are more ergonomic and the longer taper on the ends make them faster to use too.

High strength alloy steel heat treated to rockwell C30!

This bumper was built using a Rogue Alpha Tubing Bender by Dylan of 4Wheel Fabrication. It was made for a Dodge Durango in Portland Oregon. The tube is 1.75 x .120 DOM.
