[QUOTE="b.boyd, post: 738057, member: 6708"] It will break the die tab on the die. Also it will bend the pins. Also, the way the main arm is made with holes right next to edge of the arm will be a problem.There is not enough meat around the hole.The result will be that the hole will oval and eventually break. You can fix these problems as follows:. Weld a triangle gusset to the die tab that captures the tube. This will keep it from breaking the weld and ripping the tab off. For the hole problem you can make thick washers that are 1/4 inch thick and weld them to the swing arm around the hole. This will work and let you bend .188 with confidence. Now i had this exact bender and this is what I did. However, i remade the the main arms out of 3/4 inch plate and then I was able to bend 1 3/4 .250 wall upto 90 degrees with no problem. :drinkers: [/QUOTE]
