Bender Radius

Boonie Buster · Aug 2, 2006

I'm looking at getting a bender. What size radius do you guys get? do you get the tightest or something in the middle, i was thinking prolly the tightest just so you can do the tight curves around a cab on inside.

any other bender opinions or little tid-bits i don't know about are welcome too.

I bought a 1.75" in 6" radius I think it was. The pro-tools guy recommended it so that's what I got. Haven't used it yet.

You're welcome for the super insightful, informative post. :redneck:

most things are done with a 6" radius.

I've made it go pssssssssssssssss, and it seems like it should work fine. Someone stole my 20' sticks of tubing I had stashed behind the garages so I haven't bent tube yet. :kissmyass:
