I wonder if an EMT electrical conduit bender would work, I have 1/2" and 3/4" benders. Their bender accomplishes the same thing, I bet an EMT bender would work. They also have tees and ells so I'm not sure how much bending might be required but I suppose there could be some. https://www.rapidairproducts.com/shop/maxline/maxline-tubing-bender-tool $166 is kinda spendy if you are just doing your shop --FT On 6/20/21 3:43 PM, OK Don via Mercedes wrote: Looks good, but the fine print: " To straighten the tubing, run it through our straightening tool, or use the bender tool to make precise angles.
