The Rogue Fab Tube Bender kit w/dies is only $595! (3.5/4.5 CLR only, 6.0 is an upgrade)
This bender includes the BASE, it includes a built in accurate DEGREE INDICATOR, and it includes (1) 180 degree die!


180 degree Die sets in 3.5-"4.5" CLR are $199 shipped, no sales tax, no handling fees, no sale required... this is every day!
Size range for 3.5 CLR is .5" to 1.125" (1/2" to 1 1/8")
Size range for 4.5 CLR is 1.00" to 1.75" (1" to 1 3/4")
We even have dies that bend 2 sizes at this price! Like our 3/4 and 7/8 round combo die.

Larger 180 degree Die sets in 6.00" CLR are $349-399 shipped:
Size range for 6.0 CLR is 1.00" to 2.00"


Finally there is an affordable solution to bending tube without mounting the bender the ground, buying adapter kits for hydraulic cylinders, or requiring you to rip on a 4 foot bar while you try to read a degree wheel you can't even reach. Our kit comes with EVERYTHING you need except the air/hydraulic cylinder, which is available nearly everywhere at Harbor Freight for about $80 (without paying shipping). Our Rogue Fab Bender bends vertically to save space in your shop. It can bend the first 90 degrees without pulling any pins or using any ratchet mechanism (then you re-pin to bend more). It is portable! This tool is Made in the U.S.A. out of US made metal/materials and packaged in US made boxes. We back our rock-solid engineering with the fastest shipping and best customer service and tech support in the industry. We will ship your order in 1 business day 99% of the time. Don't take our word on the customer service, call us and see for yourself: 503-389-5413.

Our benders can keep up with your business. We offer our tube benders fully assembled and powder coated (additional cost), and with complete tooling packages and professional 1200+ lb capacity bender carts for large fabrication shops. We also have a 2HP double acting fully engineering electric/hydraulic power system that has 2 adjustable auto stops for precision manufacturing of repeat parts. We get absolutely amazing rates on LTL freight. We would be happy to get your tools palletized and delivered to your loading dock.

Here is our bender on one of our Elite carts with the optional 2HP Electric Hydraulic upgrade and optional 195 degree adjustable Auto Stops (We also have a mount that attaches our VersaNotcher to our carts):

We have 30+ dies that fit this bender. There are many options to allow you to bend 4130 Chromoly, Pre-Polished stainless (including low carbon 316) without a scratch, aluminum, and of course pipe, square tube, DOM, HREW, and solid bar stock. Did you notice the chunk of 1.75 SOLID ROUND BAR bent to 90 degrees?:

We just finished testing our new "HD" kits on 1.75x0.250 wall 1026 DOM, and it went flawless! No bent pins, no issues with the bender or ram. We bent it on our 4.5" CLR die and on the 6.0 CLR kit (both with the HD kit).

Here is the HD kit. Basically just keeps the pins all in pure double shear, no bending stress from unsupported portions of the pins between shear points. It also adds a rear support for the heavy loads and puts a .313" thick 1026 DOM sleeve at the end of the ram to support the pin.

Note: 1026 is the highest carbon content and strongest mild steel that is commonly used for DOM tubing. It has a yield strength more than 10% higher than 4130 chromoly (normalized or annealed, per the Machinery's Handbook, 28th edition, 2008). Chromo has the higher ultimate strength, but that doesn't dictate how tough it is to bend.

Here is one tube we bent. This is a piece of 1.75x.250 1026 DOM, with bends in 4.5" CLR, 5.625" CLR, and 6.00 CLR in it. All bends are in the same plane.

And here is the "HD" kit, which can be added to either of our 1.75 die sets to extend the capacity to .250 wall.

Do you have any pictures of your shop set up? (How you have it mounted.)

We set it on a folding table from costco, workbench, or the ground. Our shop is tiny. When we get a bigger shop a rolling bender cart is in order for sure!
 
Got a build update from one of our customers and though we would share it. Clayton of West Texas Gearheadz in Lubbock, TX, is building this awesome custom buggy with one of our tubing benders. It features rockwells and 49" Iroks mounted to hummer beadlocks and is powered by a 500HP LS6 V8. The tubework is all 4.5" CLR bends in 1.75x.120 DOM tubing.

Clayton said, "Bender is kickin ass, thanks for all the tech support! We want to share photos so everyone can see what you are able to create with good tools."

Here is a good reason to bend the heavy walled stuff: suspension links. We bent this tubing for a customer with a 72 bronco. He is going to make radius arms with bends in them for tire clearance. Material is 1.75x.250 and 1.50x.250 DOM.



 
Thanks for all the comments guys!

Just wanted to annoucne that ATV & side-by-side illustrated just published a 4 page article on our bender in their April 2013 issue. Here is a link to the article:

We just found a nice review posted by one of our customers. Garrett in Lake Elsinore posted this on the NAXJA forumsa little while ago:

"Let me start by saying I am posting this thread up for anyone that Is in the market for a new tube bender. This is my experience, as a rookie, novice, and self-taught builder. I have no ties to the said manufacturer of this product. I paid full price for it, didn't get any kickbacks or free stuff. I just want to give other people, like myself, a chance to see how this product performs.

I recently purchased a Rogue fab tube bender to aid in the cage construction for my current build. This is my first real tube bender, and really my first attempt at building a roll cage. I have used a cheapo HF crush bender, in the past, to build a bumper and tire carrier, but this is a whole other animal.

I decided to go with their most affordable set up, the 1.75", 4.5" CLR, 180' bender/die set. I feel bad for the delivery guy that had to carry this to my door step, as this is a 100lb package deal in one box.

The bender comes unassembled and has to be welded together. The instructions were very simple to follow, and all the pieces really fit together quite well. The only item I had to go out and purchase was an air/hydro ram that I picked up from harbor freight for about $60 after all my discounts.
It took about 2 hours for me to assemble and weld everything together. I still have yet to paint it, but I wanted to make sure I knew how to operate it before I get it all painted up. I did find that the hitch pins they send with the kit have a VERY TIGHT fit. Only one of the pins really get pulled on a regular basis, so I just lubed the others and worked them in. Maybe a little clearancing in these locations would help them fit a little better.

The fully assembled unit is VERY heavy. I am tempted to mount some small casters under it to make it easier to move around the garage. If I had a tall shop, I would mount it to a mobile bench for sure. The unit seems to be very well balanced, it doesn't even budge with a 10' section of pipe hanging off the side of it, so I do t think it would have any issues sitting on a bench.
I have really liked working with this bender, it's a great product"

And here is his Jeep and our bender:

Got one of these a little while back. I had used a pro-tools for years and wanted to try a vertical style instead of the horizontal style. Been really happy with it so far.
Knocked this unit out with it.
