If you want to bend tubing like roll cage stuff, that won't cut it. It'll crush the tubing pretty bad when you bend it. You'll end up with > instead of ). lol

Re: bended pipe pictures wanted ! (legendboy)
A guy in my welding class had that exact tubing bender to make an external cage for his Toyota 4x4. With that type of bender, the tubes do become crushed.
Heating the tubes up before bending would be a little help with not having a tube wall failure due to bending, but I wouldnt see that it would change anything else besides that. Your still doing to get a crush bend.
If thats what you got, roll with it tho.

heat treating certain parts of the metal is going to create weak points elsewhere.
thats a big No-No.

Re: bended pipe pictures wanted ! (RACEPAK)
Fill the pipe with sand and cap both ends.
These benders aren't worth ****. You will never get a bend that looks anywhere near as good as the pic below:
Notice how at the point the pipe goes from straight to bend, you can tell some reduction in diameter. This is because the pipe was bent to an oval shape... because this was NOT done with a mandrel bender. This bend was done with a rotary draw bender...which will run you the prices I mentioned in my post above.

actually I had good result with those bender, torch and a 20 KG sandblast sand bag.
Step 1 : cap one end of the pipe with a scrap metal peice
Step 2 : fill with Sand, use a funnel or you will end up with sand all over the place
Step 3 : cap secondend of pipe with scrap metal peice
Step 4: take mesurement and mark it with thermal resistant pen
Step 5: I place the pipe in the die but far enough from the cylinder cause I didn't want to heat it, placed the roller in their position, and heated the pipe to red.
Step 6: bend the bitch.
NOTE : dont even try to make a 180 cause it simple cant be done with die like those, you'll need a 270 deg die to make a 180 bend.
hope this help.

Are you meaning that only heat treating half the part is a bad idea, or that heat-treating in general?

Not in this thread, you didn't.
Those benders are ONLY good for heavier tubing like roll cages....doing thin wall pipe or tub will be a disaster. Had you used 16 guage, it would have just kinked the tube.

Re: bended pipe pictures wanted ! (Engloid)
Did you guys know that when you bend pipe (sch 40 or greater) on a mandrel bender you don't use a mandrel or a wiper. Not needed. Most any type of draw or crush bender will work fine on pipe. Hell the EMT conduit benders might even work for some of this stuff.
