Square tube bending dies
Just what does the profile look like for dies used to bend square
tube? I would like to either adapt some home made dies to the HF pipe bender or the hosefield (sp) type of bender that HF sells if its possible. I know I had a set of dies one time for bending up square tube but darned if I can find them now or remember what they looked like. I have bend some pretty decent radius in square tube with a set of home made dies made out of a pieceof steel pipe and the homebrew press brake, but I prefer to have a more smooth radius on the tube. Would like to go 180 if possible, and the tube size / gage would be 1/, 3/4 and 1" in no more than 14 ga more than likely mostly 16 ga.
