[QUOTE="ftoy516, post: 737995, member: 6879"] Wondering if any of you guys have experience with bending .188 wall tubing with a Pro Tools 105HD. Some of the things i have read warns against bending .188 wall because of the risk of damaging the bender. However, i know there are plenty of folks that use .188 wall tubing in there buggys for different things. And it is getting bent with some type of bender..... I am helping a buddy rebuild his rig and he wants to install a double ended ram...and wants to use a piece of 1.75 x .188 wall tubing to mount the ram on. I have spoke to Pro Tools and they really didn't want to tell me whether it could or couldn't...and there Max for the 1.75 die according to Pro Tools is .156 wall . They made me aware that bending .188 wall could (bend the pin, bend the arms, bend the ratcheting arm, and deform the follower block with a lot of repeated use with heaver wall tube) so i am looking to see if anyone here has done this with success. I also spoke with JD2 about the Model 32 which they informed me that there bender COULD bend 1.75 x .188 wall with ZERO issue of damaging the bender.... this puzzles me mainly because most of these style benders are very similar. We have both of these benders in the shop currently. The Pro Tool 105HD is mine and the JD2 is borrowed from a friend and he clammed that he couldn't find the strap for his 1.75 die......both benders look to be almost identical, and we even mounted His JD2 directly to my Pro Tools stand in the same holes my bender un-bolted from. We used the JD2 to bend some 1.5 tubing. If anyone has any "real world" advice on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
