    Ripple Effect!

    Morning!Professor! A question on Tube Benders!I use a set of 4-piece gear tube benders ,nice tools.Recently I purchased a different kind of bender set.It looks like a "crossbow",pull the click lever and bend ! Now on a 90* bend there are "ripples" on the inner bend.Is this a problem ? or a "don't worry "! This was on 7/8 and 3/4 OD copper,soft.Enjoy Your Day!

    If I may.......

    The ripples should not pose a problem, but if you want to rid them, Use a-little penetrating oil.. The tube is binding up.. Try it and let me know what you think... Actually,..Spit will work to......no joke;-)
