[QUOTE="Zoediak, post: 1541508, member: 17077"] Ok. tube bending gurus... I have a question about bending some tube. I have to bend some 7/8" aluminum tubing for a project... I am using my JD2 Model 32 bender, die is being shipped as I type. The die is a 3" CLR 180*. My question is this... Is there an easy way to figure out (calculate) how far and where I need to make bends to have the outcome be a circle with about an 8" diameter, then an 11" then like a 13" diameter... It is a weird piece that we are trying to make to replace a broken one on a piece of equipment... Kind of some sort of an air manifold or something. I am not a sketch artist.. haha so don't laugh to much.. but this is the rough picture of what the piece is. (I will upload an actual photo when I actually get one) [IMG]http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s134/Zoediak/loop.png[/IMG] Each one of the black lines is a separate tube... basically, I am just wondering if there is some easy way that I can calculate to tell me something like .. make a 3* bend.. move 1 inch make another 3* bend.. etc... or something like that.. is it possible?? Thanks for your time... [/QUOTE]
