It has rollers for 1/2", 1", and 1-1/4" tubing, according to the

I've emailed HF Technical Support about the sizes. I'll post when I
hear. Bob



Just in: "COMES WITH 1/2", 1" AND 1-1/4" ROLLERS". I.e., the catalog
listing is right & the manual wrong. I wonder how confident one can be
with this answer? 'Though I suppose the manual could be a re-use of one
for a 1, 1-1/2, 2" tubing roller.

It also depends on how you're measuring the tubing. The HF hydraulic
bender that I had stated pretty much the same thing but when bending 11/4"
tubing for roll cages none of the dies were a really good fit, even though
it said 11/4" on the die. Some tubing is measured by O.D. while some is
measured by I.D., and there's a world of difference between them.

Tubing is measured by the OD. Pipe, up through 12" diameter, is measured
by the ID, but you have to understand pipe lingo for that to make sense.

I knew that, but some might not have. I've heard people describe tubing
as pipe and vice-versa. That's kinda why I posted that admonition.
