hey mustie im new to your channel love what you do i wanna say i think if you wanna bend tube that you can put a pully some sort that will take all sizes and put collars on them with a jam screw slide it on the rolling main bar on top im betting that the tube would ride a lot better or you can make a few of them for other sizes of tube
I managed to weld up a broken coil spring. and last I saw it the thing continued to hold. welded 50 years ago. I've never welded cast that I recall, now I'd like to try it.
YOU COULD TRY A ONE INCH PULLEY CUT IN HALF OR EVEN THREE AND FASTEN THEM TO THE SHAFTS WITH SET SCREWS IT COULD STOP THE TUBE FROM WANDERING
great for flat stock for sure… Good stuff. Thanks for the video!
Love your innovation. Onwards!
https://youtu.be/x6uyzjuHA1A this fellow has a bender roller you may like he has a series of videos of how he did it. i know you can do it.
Now, that's a handy addition. Nice work!
You're soo cool..
Neat to see homemade tools. Bet the entire project was created from parts on hand in the hoard stash!
you need die rollers to form pipe
Nice add on for the garage. Probably would help with the VW builds as well. Take Care..
the only flaw I see is that your bottom rollers are too far apart, they might work better if they were closer, the rollers they use for pipe are 99% of the time concave like on the first bender u showed… is that a word?. idk. i really like your creations dude. ðŸ‘ðŸ»
that is awesome
O man, just about everybody needs one of these!
You need some dies for the material your working with. Flat rollers are good for flat stock. Tubing dies for tubing and round stock. parallel dies for square stock. you can get dies cheap and go from a cool DIY attempt to a fab shop equivalent. Harbor freight has cheapo manual tubing benders. You can probably get the dies from them. that or just machine a few from round bar
WooHoo! Very crafty Darren!
Necessity is the mother of invention. Nice! Perhaps a couple of movable guides on your rollers to keep the stock centered?
Darn it. Now I want one.
your crank roller needs some rubber so it will feed better, but then you couldn't take it out through the bearings…you are smart we know you will bigure it out…….most bike frames are made of Chromolly steel, great stuff, that is what all new dragster chassis are made from……..
Always fun to make new toys.
iF YA COULD USE THE PIPE DYES FROM THE OTHER BENDER ON THE ONE YA MADE THAT WOULD BEND THE PIPE WITHOUT MAKING IT FLAT (maby)
Great video, check out Paul Short he has a roller bender that he motorized. he has videos useing it before he put the motor on
That's a good one, Some fine tuning and you'll be golden. I'm thinking if the pipe you'll be rolling gets off to one side a bit you may find a bit of wobble in the end product. Just another thing to ponder on. Cheers
Cool now Im glad I mentioned the bender. I almost didnt even post that video. I dont know how much luck youll have with bending round stuff its best for flat and square tubing but its worth a shot. Also I made the two outer rollers as close to the center as i could to get the tightest bends possible. It was more than enough to bend the 10" front wheels I made. Anyway its a good tool to have around. theres really no other way to bend good curves like that without one
Did you neural the top roller with the lathe? Mike
That turned out pretty good. Thanks for the vid.
Thoughts: add a keyway near the end of the crank bar so you can slide metal pulleys on to it, better for keeping tubing round when bending, assorted sizes. Sandblast or use a nurling tool in the center to make the crank bar grip better. Drill holes in the base plate so you can put pegs in place so the item being bent wont change angle to the crank bar. A large cup of coffee for making such a usefull tool 😀
most of the tubing benders I have seen have had a roller with a groove cut in it ( U-shaped, so the tubing can fit in it). I'd be afraid of ovaling the tubes even if they are filled with sand…
I was hoping you could get the weight bar to work. I've got a few in my hoard and that looked like a good excuse to chop em up
A couple of old hood springs to pull it back down might help too?
