[QUOTE="bushhog750, post: 587168, member: 1081"] So I've never bent a piece of tube in my life and I went and bought a bender. I've seen a lot of tube bent and tried my best to pay attention and learn without asking to many questions and being annoying to the people I've watched and helped. I have a couple questions for anyone who is experienced with it. Some of my questions may be painful and hard to explain but I'll do my best. 1. How do you know when you bend a piece of tube that it will be as wide as you want when completed. Example: Say I want to build a crossmember and the frame rails are 30" wide outside and I want to put 45 degree bends on both ends. How the hell do you measure so that when you bend both ends of the tube to 45 degrees that it will be 30" wide when completed. How do you measure for a certain width? [/QUOTE]
