Well, shoot. I guess I need to stop using ice as a method of bending
tubing if it won't work. I wish I would have know that 30 years ago, I
would have not waited all my time bending tubes that way to keep them
from distorting.......


Dennis can the bending die that is used to set the radius be flat, like
a block of wood with inside radius cut into it?

Hi John,

Both the inner and outer die must have the same radius as the tube being
bent. On the outer die, I use a flat bar with the radius cut into it.
(four sides to the bar, four different radius) Then on the back side of
the bar is a roller, that draws the bar around the inner radius, leaving
no scratches on the tube. Hope this helps.
