Bench Mount Copper Tube Bender

Parker-Hannifin (spell) makes a bench mount hand cranked bender. It bends 1" SS with no problem, one hand is all you need. bob

Anybody know of a good bench mount copper tube bender that has a capacity of 1 1/8" O.D.? Actually larger would be good too.

You gots to talk to HOT ROD.....Greatest pipe bender that ever lived.

do you mean hand operated or powered?

the REMS Curvo has a tripod option, I'm sure it could be bench mounted.

Remember if you want to bend 20 foot lengths you will need some "swing" room or the bender will need to swivel on it's mount.

My REMS will bend up to 1-1/4 copper. I believe they now have a 2" model??

I have heard of guys bending copper with an electrical condiut bender. I've never had good luck with one on hard drawn copper.

It takes some power to bend 1-1/4 copper. I'm not sure a hand bender would work without a 10 foot handle

hand or electric powered?

It would be a pretty tough go to bend 1-1/4 copper with a hand bender. it takes some power. maybe with a 10 foot handle

Remember if you want to bend 20 foot lengths you will need some "swing" room or the bender will need to swivel on it's mount.

The REMS has a tripod option. I'm sure it could adapt to a bench mount easily.

I think REMS now has a model to bend up to 2" copper?
